Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars Kaz Brekker, the infamous gang leader and crime master of Ketterdam, is offered a chance to receive an enormous amount of money if he can pull off a nearly impossible heist. Kaz assembles an elite team for the mission: Inej, a skilled spy with a dark past; Jesper, a marksman with a love for gambling and taking risks; Matthias, an ex-soldier who wants revenge for his time in prison; Nina, a conflicted Grisha with romantic regrets; and Wylan, an inexperienced demolition specialist hiding some secrets. Now if only Kaz can get them to stop trying to kill each other. Six of Crows is basically one giant adrenaline rush with action, suspense, drama, and nearly impossible odds. It’s the first of a fantasy duology that has incredible world-building and amazing characters. The writing and point of view shifts in this novel are brilliant because they highlight the incredibly-compelling dynamic between the six lead characters. Leigh Bardugo throws you into the middle of her fantasy world and slowly hints and cultures, conflicts, and character backstories as the plot unfolds. Although I don’t like the ending as much as I liked the rest of the novel and I was a tiny bit confused at some points, I absolutely loved reading Six of Crows and I can’t wait until I can read the sequel, Crooked Kingdom!
