This book is for you if... You like fantasy and just a wonderful book.
To start this off, an apology to my best friends who have told me for years to read this and I said I wasn't interested because it wasn't my type of book... I was wrong, I'm sorry. I fell in love with this cast of characters, and the whole world created in Six of Crows.
I couldn't put it down, once I had picked it up I was hooked. The story from the first page was so intriguing, and I was constantly wishing I could read faster than I could so I could get through it faster and know what was going on. The pacing was outstanding, there was never a moment where it felt like the book was dragging on.
I have a new favorite character of all time in Nina, she is everything I love in a character, with her attitude and just everything. I love her relationship with Matthias, their banter was just perfect. I also just love women so yeah. Wylan and Jesper are also some new favorites, but I just think this whole cast of characters are new favorites, I love them all so much.
Overall because I need to wrap this up or I'll go forever, I loved this so much, from maybe 10% into the book I knew this was gonna be 5 stars unless something really went wrong. I can't wait to read more and more from the Grishaverse.
