Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
5.0
5 Stars!
Edit: I have more word vomit with this book!
Holy Shit! This was a damn good book! Is this book even real? Is this really the same author that wrote Shadow and the Bone? The book I read last week and gave it a one star? I mean seriously.
THIS IS A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN SHADOW AND BONE.
NO!
A BILLION TIMES BETTER!
THE CHARACTERS!
THE PLOT!
THE WORLDBUILDING!
THE FRIENDSHIPS!
THE FREAKING BUDDING ROMANCE!
I JUST! WHAT!
I don't know why I feel like Leigh wrote The Grisha series just to get her foot into the YA world while Six of Crows is her true baby..... I think the main reason I didn't like Shadow and Bone because it felt very generic YA to me. That disappointed me because heard how amazing the book and Leigh was, Now with SoC. it felt more original and her able to explore her world she build in Grisha series without to many constraints. Everything felt more organic and not rushed at all. I mean all three potential couples in SoC have way more chemistry than Alina and Mal did... That's refreshing to me. Also their backstories were so rich and made you understand the character present day actions better. ( Oh My darling bastard Kaz. No 9 year shouldn't have to go through that shit at all. Inej is a fucking survivor. I want to have waffles with Nina.)
The only gripe I have is wanting to know more of Wylan which I have a feeling I will in CK. He was the only one of the six that I really didn't know to much about until towards the end. Other than that it was amazing!
It's worth the hype!
