Six of Crows is absolutely amazing! After I finished I literally felt empty, because I thought I would never read anything as good again. I mean, after that I read the second book, but yk ;). All the characters are so well written and the book keeps you on your toes with plot twists and Kaz Brekker the mastermind xD. You will really fall in love with all the characters (even Matthias).
The story follows a group of (traumatized) criminal teens, who end up trying to pull an impossible heist. The story is set in 18/19 century-ish Ketterdam(which is based on the Netherlands). It can make you cry and laugh in the span of a chapter, while other times you will just sit there in shock thinking “how in the world did Leigh Bardugo even come up with this?!” (In a good way ofc). I would 100% recommend this book! It also dives into some triggering topics though, so be safe and check tws before reading! >:3
