It took me a while to get into the setting, but enjoyed the twists and turns. Mostly likable characters and a fun heist

I understand the hype for this series. Night and day for me from Shadow and Bone where I felt the characters were lackluster and the action felt really contrived. In comparison, Six of Crows is full of complicated and morally ambiguous protagonists and compelling, "what will happen next" sort of action. The twists and turns were endless, and the characters all had rich and well-developed backstories that gave you an interesting perspective on why they act they way they do. This book felt like a fantasy version of Oceans Eleven with traumatized teenagers, and I loved every minute of it. It all worked for me.

WOW!!!!!!! WHAT A THRILL!!!!! One of the first things that immediately catch my eye (or not) in a new book is the writing and man, did I love this one! Leigh Bardugo manages to develop her world and characters through dialogue so well, it almost seems easy! Not only that but with so many characters at the same time, absolutely brilliant and thrilling! ObSESSED! Can't wait to delve into the next one! Impressive stuff, sometimes I really have to remember writers create this stuff from nothing! The characters are... Wow!!!! Jesper represents a perfect metaphor for queer closeted individuals! Love every character!! Loved, loved, LOVED it!!!!!!!!
