I finished six of crows and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. It had a strong plot, strong world building I really liked how leigh bardugo based each country per say, off of different European countries and cultures, such as ravka being Russia, fjeirda being Germany, and ketterdam being a mic of France and England. She had great characters, with strong character development, the only problem I had with the characters is that they're not written to be 16-17 but rather older at least in their 20s. One problem with the magic system was when she revealed jesper was a fabrikator it felt like a cover up for a problem/plot hole. If she had revealed it earlier wouldn't have felt that way. It was bad timing because it just felt like a magical fix to problem, and that can often come across as bad writing. But other then that it was really good. Leigh really showed well what propaganda is and how it effects and how its ingrained into warfare. Great read highly recommend!! I give this book a 4.5⭐️
