Six of Crows
by Leigh Bardugo
Reread 2021: *chefs kiss* even better the second time around
First read:
Finally read this as a buddy read with Shannon :)
Despite all the praise surrounding this book, I was so hesitant to read this. So I hope you believe me when I say that the hype surrounding this book is so worth it.
Six of Crows is an incredible read. The story has you on the edge of your seat, the feels in the book have you laughing on one page and on the brink of tears the next, and if none of those things do it for you the incredible writing should be more than enough to keep you invested. This was just so brilliant. Every character, every event, pretty much everything that is mentioned in this book is important to the plot. This book was full of twists and turns, and even moments that I thought I saw coming still managed to surprise me based on how well they were presented to the readers. That being said the entire plot isn’t completely predictable, there were also a lot of moments that I didn’t anticipate, and thankfully they all still made perfect sense. It was just very clear throughout the entire story that Leigh Bardugo put so much thought into this story and the direction she wanted it to take. I have never wanted to read a sequel as desperately as I want to read Crooked Kingdom.
Along with an incredible story, we are given such incredible characters. We get such a lovely balance of time between all of them. Everyone feels equally important. This was something that I was definitely worried about because SIX main characters sound like it will be overwhelming and confusing, but it was so easy to follow along and love each of them SO much. As a reader you get so invested in their roles in the story, as well as their back stories and their relationships with one another. The characters in this story are just as important as the plot itself, and it’s just so well done! I want to know what happens next in terms of the story and also just for all of my CHILDREN.
I think that’s all I really have to say at this point without getting repetitive or spoilery. So in summary this book is practically perfect, I have zero complaints other than the one where I wish I read this sooner.
