“I’m a business man,” he’d told her. “No more, no less.”
-“You’re a thief, Kaz.”
“Isn’t that what I just said?”


I’ve been dodging this book for a while. I’ve said it before but after the terrible experience with Ruin and Rising, I said I wasn’t going to read anything from Leigh Bardugo. It was that bad!
But then she comes with a story of Nikolai and she hit a soft spot, I couldn’t not read it (it is the absolute best btw). So, here I am in Bardugo’s clutch again.

The thing is, the blurb of Six of Crows didn’t call to me. I thought it was some silly thing like Ocean’s Twelve or something. Absolutely not to my liking. BUT I didn’t need to worry, this book is phenomenal. Yes, it’s action packed; yes, they’re trying to make the biggest heist; yet it’s so much more than that. More than money, more than pride.
Every character has depth, Bardugo takes her time showing their true colors and you can’t help but love everyone of them.
Take Kaz:
“Are you a magician, then? A wej sprite who grants wishes? I’m superstitious, not stupid.”
“You can be both, you know, but that’s hardly the point.”

Or Inej:
“She was not a lynx or a spider or even the Wraith. She was Inej Ghafa, and her future was waiting above.”

I can’t wait to know what comes next, and I won’t be waiting much (benefits of reading the duology 3 years after the publication).
