SIX OF CROWS is an action-packed, character-centric heist story about six misfits who have to pull off an impossible job. Are you a fan of Ocean’s 11 or The Italian Job? Generally speaking, heist stories feature bold characters faced with an impossible job to pull off. Six of Crows is the same, but Leigh Bardugo sets the story in a fantasy world. SIX OF CROWS fits into her existing universe of books, The Grishaverse. No, you don’t need to read the other books to keep up, but it certainly does add to the general enjoyment of the series.
What’s It About?
Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price—and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can’t pull it off alone. . . .
A convict with a thirst for revenge.
A sharpshooter who can’t walk away from a wager.
A runaway with a privileged past.
A spy known as the Wraith.
A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums.
A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes.
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.
MY THOUGHTS
After I watched the Netflix adaptation of SHADOW AND BONE, I knew I had to read SIX OF CROWS. You guys. These characters are wonderful. Kaz, Inej, Jesper, Weylan, Nina, and Mathias are a true delight. These six amazing people leapt off each page of the book and demanded my full attention. The job they have to do is impossible, and Bardugo sets up the stakes in a way that you simply can’t stop reading.
