Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz's crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction―if they don't kill each other first.
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo returns to the breathtaking world of the Grishaverse in this unforgettable tale about the opportunity―and the adventure―of a lifetime.
“Six of Crows is a twisty and elegantly crafted masterpiece that thrilled me from the beginning to end.” –New York Times-bestselling author Holly Black
“Six of Crows [is] one of those all-too-rare, unputdownable books that keeps your eyes glued to the page and your brain scrambling to figure out what’s going to happen next.” –Michael Dante DiMartino, co-creator of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra
“There's conflict between morality and amorality and an appetite for sometimes grimace-inducing violence that recalls the Game of Thrones series. But for every bloody exchange there are pages of crackling dialogue and sumptuous description. Bardugo dives deep into this world, with full color and sound. If you're not careful, it'll steal all your time.” ―The New York Times Book Review
“A master of fantasy.” ―The Huffington Post
“Utterly, extremely bewitching.” ―The Guardian
“The best magic universe since Harry Potter.” ―Bustle
“This is what fantasy is for.” ―The New York Times Book Review
“[A] world that feels real enough to have its own passport stamp.” ―NPR
“The darker it gets for the good guys, the better.” ―Entertainment Weekly
“Sultry, sweeping and picturesque. . . . Impossible to put down.” ―USA Today
“There’s a level of emotional and historical sophistication within Bardugo’s original epic fantasy that sets it apart.” ―Vanity Fair
“Unlike anything I’ve ever read.” ―Veronica Roth, bestselling author of Divergent
“Bardugo crafts a first-rate adventure, a poignant romance, and an intriguing mystery!” ―Rick Riordan, bestselling author of the Percy Jackson series
“This is a great choice for teenage fans of George R.R. Martin and J.R.R. Tolkien.” ―RT Book Reviews

What I Expected: I thought I was in for an italian job style heist with a twist. Romance I expected don't ask me why but thought there was going to be lots of that. I also wondered if it would be set somewhere I would recongise.
What I Got: An exciting adventure, set in fantasy world that reminded me a bit of Asia and Russia mixed together. There was a heist but not the sort I imagined. I love the twists that were in this book. Its more exciting than I thought I was getting.

Review: From the start your thrown into the Grisha world and the dangers that they face. The dangerous drug Jurda Perm and what it does to these magical people. We are then introduced to the gang world of The Barrell. The Merchants, we learn a lot about Kaz's background along with the other characters. It leads them to breaking Matthias out of jail and taking on his former countries court. The twists along the way made me shout "What the heck!" not good for the train or being next to Ian while he drives. It was exciting and gave me much more than I was expecting.
This was a pick for the Owl Crate Book club pick of Feb.
Thank you so much for your time and I hope to hear your thoughts relating to this book.
