Synopsis (Goodreads):

Criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker has been offered wealth beyond his wildest dreams. But to claim it, he’ll have to pull off a seemingly impossible heist:

Break into the notorious Ice Court

(a military stronghold that has never been breached)

Retrieve a hostage

(who could unleash magical havoc on the world)

Survive long enough to collect his reward

(and spend it)

Kaz needs a crew desperate enough to take on this suicide mission and dangerous enough to get the job done – and he knows exactly who: six of the deadliest outcasts the city has to offer. Together, they just might be unstoppable – if they don’t kill each other first.

Review:

Oh my! I think this book was better than the Grisha Trilogy!

The one amazing this about this book is the characters. Bardugo does such an excellent job of providing the back story for all 6 of the main characters that you feel like you really know them. The story goes back and forth between most of the main characters, and you feel a sense of connection to the characters. You feel their pain, their happiness, their sadness etc. That shows amazing writing in my book.

Six of Crows is action packed! It’s set after the Ravkan Civil War, and Grisha are being hunted. The Second Army is trying to rebuild, but it’s difficult with slavers and Fjerdans hunting them.

Then meet Kaz Brekker and the Dregs. They are criminals with the goal of making money. When a big job is offered Kaz, he can’t turn it down, and he drags 5 others on an action packed mission!

If you enjoy young adult fantasy books, then I definitely recommend this book! So excited for the next book!

Happy reading!
