So well.Įach character has their own difficult past, which you get to learn about, and they each have different motives for why they are where they are now. There were chapters from each of their perspectives (except my smol child Wylan) and that made me understand each of their motives and backgrounds so much more vividly! Their past and present were intertwined together- and it worked. The characters were fleshed out, felt so real, and beautifully, wonderfully morally grey. I felt like I was on the adventure with them, and I think that’s part of what made this book so brilliant. It didn’t take long for me to be drawn into the world and into the lives of the characters. Well, I think this was a lesson in not letting the hype scare you away from a book. Because sometimes the hype might be right. Kaz’s crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction-if they don’t kill each other first. But he can’t pull it off alone.Ī sharpshooter who can’t walk away from a wagerĪ Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price-and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. I can’t wait any longer to talk about this book, so let’s get started!

I’ll make sure to differentiate between the sections. After a quick review, I’m going to be screaming more directly about the book, and while I won’t be explicitly spoiling anything, I don’t recommend reading that part of the post if you haven’t yet read the book. In this post, I’m going to be first reviewing Six of Crows! If you haven’t read the book yet, you don’t have to be worried about any part of it getting spoiled in that section. Needless, to say…it was all worth it, and all the hype was absolutely right. I feel like there should be ominous music playing in the background. The hype grew so much that eventually I was torn between a desperate desire to read it and a just as desperate desire not to read it, because what if it didn’t live up to all my expectations?Īll these thoughts reached their apex on March 26th, 2019, the day I started to read Six of Crows. It’s been in recommendation posts, in discussion posts, and it lived on my TBR for longer than I’d like to admit. Without fail, I have heard about Six of Crows on nearly every blog. I finally read the most hyped book of all time.
