Six Of Crows<\/strong><\/em>
\nby Leigh Bardugo<\/p>\n

\n

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\u2019t pull it off alone…<\/span><\/p>\n

A convict with a thirst for revenge.<\/i><\/p>\n

A sharpshooter who can\u2019t walk away from a wager.<\/p>\n

A runaway with a privileged past.<\/p>\n

A spy known as the Wraith.<\/p>\n

A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums.<\/p>\n

A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes.<\/p>\n

Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz\u2019s crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction – if they don\u2019t kill each other first.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Review:<\/p>\n

This was such a good read. I finished it in about a week, and my mother in law was in shock because I just bought it? And now I\u2019m halfway through the sequel, and I bought that after I finished this one. My mother in law is finding it amusing how I\u2019m speeding through books these last couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

But really, with how good this is, I can\u2019t be blamed. One might think many points of views would be confusing, but there are distinct differences about each that mark them apart. They never bleed into each other, and the story unfolds very nicely with the different points of views and the flashbacks within them.<\/p>\n

The characters are fleshed out – I will admit to being very worried about Wylan when it clicked that he didn\u2019t have point of view chapters, but that was resolved nicely enough with the revelation at the end being what it was. If we had had his point of view, that would have been spoiled, and well, I\u2019m trying to be as vague as possible even though I know most people have already seen this. It was just really smartly done.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t see why people compare this to Ace Of Shades<\/em>. I mean, there are some similarities, I suppose? I mean, you can compare Kaz to Levi a bit, but other than the whole gang thing? Not much?<\/p>\n

Honestly, it reminds me more of Leverage<\/em>, which I love insanely. A team of very different individuals with different skill sets coming together to pull of a heist. Smart and snazzy and at the end, you\u2019re going \u201coh, so that\u2019s what they did\u201d and just impressed by it all. I was just waiting for someone to say the iconic \u201cLet\u2019s go steal a [insert item here]\u201d line from the show. (Which has happened in the sequel already so !!!! The Leverage<\/em> fan in me is ecstatic.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
