  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I've never read any Leigh Bardugo before, though I have Six of Crows sitting on my bookshelf now. I was enamored with these dark fairytales. I enjoyed the melancholy, the pace, and the beautiful artwork to accompany each story. The worlds were built with just the right amount of wonder and cruelty. I don't often re-read books but I can see my self coming back to these tales again and again.
