Decent storyline and characters

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 23, 2022

Decent story but characters are not interesting enough for me to be invested or care enough to read on. Perhaps just not my cup of tea.

SIX OF CROWS

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 20, 2018

Once in a while a book will come in your life and turn your world upside down. Long after it's done, you will think about it while trying to do go on with your life. For me, this book did that. It took me a long time to read it, the fault was mine.
I love reading books where author manages to make me forget that I'm reading a book and Leigh Bardugo did that with her awesome writing. It felt so smooth like I was not reading a book but watching a movie. All six characters were unique and had something to add to the story in their own way.
They're misfits which fit perfectly with each other.
The best thing about this book

1. Character: Each one has something to bring to the story. Each one has a talent that takes the story forward. Even the side characters come with their own flavour. Its written from five points of views. The only book with so many characters pov is game of thrones. And just like GOT, Six of Crows pov are different, each one has their own voice and own way of looking at the same situation. Their emotions are raw and I believe their past experience helps them to bond with each other. They know how it feels to be so alone, so hopeless.

2. Story and the twist: Six of crows will go down as a book that had something new happening in each page. You will always be on alert. Every word will demand your attention, every twist will make your heart race, your jaw to drop. Many times, I stopped reading just to let it sink, all the while wondering how will the author pull her characters out of this situation. And each time she did it so smoothly that it made me realise how well she knows this character especially with the background story. We get to know what each of the characters has been through and why they believe or do certain things in such a way.

3. Place: Ketterdam, oh!!! how I loved and hated the city. It was a perfect place for the city. I could smell the salt in the air and humidity just like the characters.

4. Writing: Just brilliant. The dialogue is the best part of the book. The command on the language is strong. Not every author can pull off great writing but Leigh Bardugo is the queen.

Lastly, if like me you've not read any previous work of Leigh Bardugo than give yourself some time. It will be confusing in the beginning but have patience.

Bardugo's plotting is stellar

I bought the Shadow and Bone trilogy, having hugely enjoyed the Netflix series, but there are differences (no spoilers here for readers or viewers).
Read the trilogy, then dive right in to Six of Crows and see something new. Also get what they incorporated into the Netflix series and like me, wonder why Six of Crows wasn't saved for its own series, because this is EVEN BETTER than Shadow and Bone.
The characters have much more depth, and the story is delivered with different characters as the main actors in each chapter. This makes the reader really connect with each character in a new and very engaging way. Plus it delivers cliff hanger after cliff hanger! I sat there and read for literally hours at a time. I loved the echoes back to the original trilogy and when I got to the end, I immediately started on Crooked Kingdom (because I bought both at the same time, knowing I would do exactly this).
It's great to see how Leigh Bardugo is developing at such a huge pace. My one request though, would be that she not use the word 'wend' so frequently. Sorry Leigh, it gets a bit jarring.

This book is fantasy meets good old fashion criminal heist. I could not put it down! What I found I really enjoyed about this book is that even though its based in a world full of magic, most of the cast were just ordinary people, with the exception of a couple hilariously witty grisha, accomplishing a crazy mission using only their wits and talents and cards life has dealt them. I like how each chapter was from a different characters perspective and at the same time it would pick up where the last one left off. And to be honest it was actually quite funny in more ways than one. For me, this is a book is one of those rare reads I wish I reread for the first time all over again. (less)

Holy. Crow(s). Yep, that's all I need to say.

Okay, maybe a little more.

This WORLD. How I missed it; and I loved seeing a different angle of it as opposed to just Ravka from the Grisha Trilogy, even though now all I want to do is reread those books to dive right back in. These CHARACTERS. Misfits, criminals, convicts.. a perfectly imperfect group of deviants. I loved them all. Those SHIPS. I ship them all. Every single one. They were all so different and complex, with something for everyone, and the romance was subtle and strange and beautiful. (Kaz, oh Kaz, you're so effed up) That HEIST. I loved that it all went wrong. Even when you thought they had survived it and come out the other end, nope, it still went wrong some more. And then further wrong. The freaking ENDING. Okay, going into this I definitely thought it was a standalone; it was only halfway through I saw the title of the second book that at least gave me a little bit of a heads-up that things probably weren't going to end perfectly. Or maybe they would and we would just see more of the Crow Crew, it was hard to tell. But then..

Yeah, so, SIX OF CROWS was amazing, but like that's any surprise. If you're reading this review you already know it. I loved the Grisha Trilogy but I have to say that Bardugo has really hit her stride with this one. Her writing seems to have matured (not that it was IMmature before this), possibly even more vivid, and basically I need the next book right now. Please.

Please?

The media could not be loaded.

Everything looks good! I’m pleasantly surprised as it’s the first book in a little while that has come completely intact. As you can see the packaging was fairly cushiony and seemed to do the trick :)

An excellent start to,a new series

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 19, 2017

In the battle for control of the docks in Ketterdam Kaz Brekker and his gang, the Dregs, were rapidly moving up the hierarchy. They used their ownership of the Crow Club to finance the renovation of Fifth Harbor from a slum to an entertainment area with visiting ships filled with tourists and off-duty soldiers coming to seek entertainment. Kaz and the Dregs now had first crack at stealing the visitors' wares. His notoriety leads to a job acquiring a highly addictive drug that can give Grisha superhuman powers - if he can juggle his crew, the new talents he needs to hire, and the might of the government holding the drug. His desire to earn enough power to avenge his past leads him to accept the job. However, his previous rivals are now more deadly serious, intent on stopping Katz's rise to power while they still can. This is an excellent start to a possible series.
