Our crime is existing. Our crime is what we are

Reviewed in Australia on 18 April 2021

Verified Purchase

I went in to this with such high expectations and everyone loves this duology so much. Unfortunately though I had a very love/hate relationship with this book.

Let’s start with the positives shall we. The idea itself was really good and I loved Kaz and Inej. In fact it was their chapters and stories that kept me going and kept me wanting to read, especially Kaz with his attitude and antics. I loved Kaz so much.

Now for the negatives. For the most part I just didn’t care what happened and I wasn’t feeling all the usual emotions I feel while reading. I’m not sure if I just don’t click with Bardugos writing but I have struggled with all her books.

I’m glad that I saw this one through to the end and it did have some brilliant moments. Unfortunately for me though it just didn’t live up to the hype. I know so many people absolutely love these books though and I still can’t wait for the show. I’ll definitely still be bingeing the show like crazy.

Great adventure

Reviewed in Australia on 11 December 2016

Verified Purchase

This is like a YA version of The Lies of Locke Lamora, or The Final Empire as we have a gang of criminals out on an impossible adventure for incredible rewards. The book switches POVs between the six main characters, but is still able to keep the story moving forward and isn't confusing. The back stories of the characters are all quite interesting, and the heist they need to pull off really gets you on the edge of your seat.
Bardugo's Shadow and Bone was one of my favourite releases that year, but unfortunately the next books in that series paled in comparison. I hope that doesn't happen with this series as it has started really strong and ended on a great cliffhanger. I have high hopes for the series :)

When I started writing, it was out of a desire to write the sort of book I wanted to read, and couldn't find. I no longer need to because this book has it all. Thanks Leigh, I can take the rest of the decade off! The pacing is perfect, the story clever (I adore characters who are smarter than me!), and I almost cried when my plane landed yesterday because it meant I had to stop reading. I can't recommend this book enough.

The pace of this book was great, the way we go from one person to other with out it being a stop start feel is so wonderful, Its funny and oh so heartbreaking but hey we all have "those" stories that either kill us, make us stronger or give you a cracker of dark humor. Great read for young readers and older

Personal dislike for multiple POVs

Reviewed in Australia on 10 September 2021

Verified Purchase

I loved each character and the overall plot but this book took me forever to finish because I personally don’t like it when the point of view changes too much. Some authors manage to do this well in a way where the story flows nicely, however I felt like it was not the case for this book. I would start to get engaged in the middle of the chapter but at the beginning of the next one is a different person and story… and annoyed that I need to wait until their next turn, I stop reading.

But again, I still love the characters and the plot was interesting enough, I just wish it had less point of views, or just a couple of “main” characters.

Absolutely stunning edition for a terrific book

Reviewed in Australia on 22 November 2021

The copy itself is beautifully made with red sprayed edges. This story revived my love for reading, something I had neglected the past few years. My longing for a new fantasy world to escape into was fulfilled ten-fold. Though I needed to brush up on some basics online (owing to skipping the S&B Trilogy), once you are past the learning curve, this is an adrenaline-filled adventure you will not forget, characters you will fall in love with and a world you will just want more of

Meet the Crows: cunning, brave, witty and entirely loveable!
This is a book I have read several times now because it is so enjoyable. Each time I finish I cannot believe that I have read just one book. Bardugo never stumbles over the multiple points of view, instead weaving them together seamlessly.

An instant favourite

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 July 2018

Verified Purchase

I can't remember the last time I read a book and fell so head-over-heels in love with an entire group of characters.

People have been recommending Six of Crows to me for a long time now. It's a book I've always meant to get to - who doesn't love a heist story? - but this year I finally sat back, opened it up and was sucked into the seedy underbelly of Leigh Bardugo's fantasy world.

As someone who hasn't read Bardugo's Grisha Trilogy this world was entirely new to me, and I loved it. 2018 feels like the year in which I'm rediscovering my first love, fantasy, after several years of being intimidated by it for a reason I still can't quite put my finger on, and Ketterdam has to be one of my favourite fantastical places now purely because Bardugo brings it to life so vividly.

While Ravka, which we hear of but don't go to in this book, seems to be a Russian-inspired country, there's no doubt in my mind that Ketterdam is a fantastical version of Amsterdam, with its waterways, merchant-run economy, and the entire districts whose cogs are kept whirring by a constant stream of gambling and prostitution. The Barrel, not at all dissimilar from Amsterdam's Red Light District, is ruled by gangs, and one gangster in particular has Ketterdam in his pocket.

Kaz Brekker is one of the most compelling protagonists I have come across in a fantasy novel in a long time. From the blurb I thought he would be very different to the kind of boy he is, but I love how Bardugo has imagined him; she straddles the line between 'criminal prodigy' and 'only a 17 year old' beautifully, creating a character who's had to grow up far too fast and has the dirt of the worst and best of humanity wedged under his fingernails. He's like that first sip of a bitter coffee in human form. It was also so refreshing to read about a protagonist who needs the assistance of a cane to walk and I'd like more protagonists like this please!

What makes Six of Crows really sing is its characters. The setting is brilliant and the plot is wonderful, but the characters are what make this book - dare I say it - perfect. Alongside Kaz we have his right-hand woman Inej Ghafa, who was stolen from her home and her family as a child and sold into human trafficking before she began working for the Dregs. Known as the Wraith, she's an expert at going undetected and is yet another example of Bardugo's wonderfully complex characters. Inej's faith is important to her and her morality is something she struggles with when she has essentially become Kaz's personal assassin, but how else is she supposed to survive in a land that sees her as a commodity that can be sold for profit?

I loved Bardugo's exploration of religion through Inej and through Matthias, another protagonist from Fjerda, the country next to Ravka, who has essentially been raised in a cult of witch hunters whose own religion teaches that Grisha aren't human. Like all six of the protagonists in Six of Crows, Matthias has found himself washed up in Ketterdam by accident, beginning the novel in prison thanks to a Grisha, Nina, who serves as another protagonist. I'll be saying this for all of them, but I loved Nina, too. A child soldier from Ravka, she was forced to work with Matthias, a boy trained to kill her, after the ship they were on sank and they found their way to Ketterdam. Nina is bubbly and vivacious and loves food - who doesn't? - and I particularly loved her friendship with Inej. There's no competition between them, just the utmost affection and respect and when I say I want more female friendships this is what I mean.

Then we have Jesper Fahey, another member of the Dregs who loves gambling and guns a little too much, but another character who is complex and, though flawed, incredibly loyal to Kaz. I adored his sense of humour and his shameless bisexuality. Finally there's Wylan, a boy with a knack for explosives and keeping secrets. He's the kind of character that grows on you as the story progresses, and once you get to know him you can't help but love him.

Six of Crows works because each of its protagonists are fleshed out and such fun to follow separately, but they also have brilliant chemistry as a group, too, which is for the best considering they have to rely on each other to pull off a heist that's believed to be impossible. Kaz makes a deal with one of Ketterdam's merchants to break into the Fjerdan Ice Court - a place that has never been breached - and smuggle out a prisoner associated with a drug that, when used on Grisha, turns them into unstoppable weapons who crave the drug more and more and eventually die as nothing more than husks of their previous selves.

Kaz doesn't take on this mission out of the goodness of his heart to liberate the Grisha who are being mistreated or to bring order back to the world of the merchants, he takes on the mission because each of them will be rewarded with an inordinate amount of money that will pay off their individual debts and set them up comfortably for life. What ensues is a twisty, turny heist story that keeps you guessing at every turn and makes you genuinely worry for the characters' safety. I love that Bardugo doesn't make this story safe. Kaz has a plan and his plan has a plan, but when things go wrong - and they really do - these kids are forced to improvise if they're going to live to claim their reward.

It's been a few months now since I finished this book and I'm still thinking about it. The plotting and character development is exquisite. I fell for this book and these characters and this world so hard, and it's safe to say that this duology is now one of my all-time favourite series and this book has definitely earned a spot on my favourite books of all-time list. It was such fun to read, and it reignited not only my love for fantasy but also my love for YA done well. I escaped into a different world where all the threats and the tears and the love and the smiles felt real, and I will be gushing about it for a long time. And I'm not sorry.

THE HYPE IS REAL!!!!!

Reviewed in India on 3 July 2018

Verified Purchase

I had stayed away from YA fantasy for a long time because everything I read started sounding the same and nothing excited me. So I was completely out of the loop when the Six of Crows duology became a revolution. It was only after seeing so many people raving about the series on bookstagram that I finally became aware of the existence of this series ( Yes,I was living under a rock 😐)
So I finally yielded to peer pressure and picked it up last month.

I was a bit nervous about it because I was not well versed in the Grishaverse and because of the hype. The initial few chapters didn’t do anything to allay my fears. But I hate dnf-ing books and decided to stick with it. And boy- oh -boy, was I glad I did that.

Eventhough there was too much of the world and the characters to get used to, once you get oriented, the book is unputdownable. The fact that it is a heist rather than a revolution, which is the norm for fantasy, made it all the more interesting.

“No Mourners.
No Funerals.”

The care with which the characters are created is evident in each and every page of the book. Eventhough I loved Kaz, Mathias, Nina, Jesper and Wylan, Inej managed to borrow a tiny corner of my heart. There are either character driven novels or plot driven novels. It is extremely rare to find a book where both the plot and the characters are both so well developed and well etched that they sweep you off your feet. Hats off to Leigh Bardugo for managing to do that with such èlan.

Everything you need, SoC has it. Humor, romance, friendships, twists, turns and lots and lots of action. It as an epic tale of complex characters, amazing word building and a gripping plot.

The hype is real people. I repeat THE HYPE IS REAL!!! It would be a crime to miss this one. Stop procrastinating!!!

Would you go to the cinema and leave 30minutes before the end of the film? Are you the type of person who watches a TV series and stops before the last episode? You would? Then this is the book for you.

What happened to the rest of the book? Really disappointed that this finished with such a cliff hanger.

I hate it when books are released and the story finishes half way through. There is no real end to speak of it just stops abruptly.

So many questions are left unanswered - I shall not be buying the next book. Disgusted that I paid over £10 for this book - its going straight in the bin.

One Heck of a Fun Book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 April 2017

Verified Purchase

Okay, okay, I admit it. I was wrong. This is one heck of a fun book.

I was so unengaged when I first tried to read Six of Crows back in March. I couldn't put my finger on it - it just wasn't clicking for me, and I stopped at around 25%. But four months down the line and it was like I was reading it with completely new story.

There's something about the concept that makes this book so consuming. A world of magic and underlying disorder, six criminals and a hiest. It's hard not to get sucked in.

I adore stories with an ensamble of characters and the fact that they are a band of misfits makes it all the better. We've got:
- Kaz, a young criminal mastermind who runs the streets
- Inej, a brilliant spy who can vanish in the blink of an eye
- Nina, a confident Grisha with the power to kill with a look
- Matthias, a witch hunter who is presumed dead
- Jesper, a gambling gunslinger who loves the rush of a fight
- and Wylan, a runaway rich kid with a gift for mechanics

Together they are the Crow Club, and they take on an suicide mission for wealth beyond their wildest dreams. How awesome is that?!

The characters are awesome, but there are a lot of them. Each of them have their own backstory which I think took a lot of time out of the book from the present day plot, and away from there being any solid protagonist. I would have preferred a fully omniscient 3rd person narrator rather than abrupt changes in 3rd person perspectives, which would've made reading more like shifting from one character's mind to another, which would've made connecting the puzzle pieces of the characters and their motives a lot more fun than simply being told.

Despite Six of Crows being a spin off of The Grisha series, reading them isn't necessary to fully enjoy this book. The worldbuilding and development had all the flare of a standalone story, and it was so good to see it from the eyes of such a diverse range of characters. It really enabled the world to expand to beyond a couple of locations, which makes it unique to other fantasy novels which tend to focus only on one.

Six of Crows is a YA story that is fresh and new from anything I've read before - it's no wonder it's taken the blogosphere by storm. Take note, other writers - this is how you grab your readers.

Diversity Note: POC and queer protagonists

Warnings: blood, torture, violence

Came for the Kaz Brekker hype & here to stay for The Wraith

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker 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.

Oh, how I've missed my angsty YA stories.

I'm a sucker for a book filled with twists and heartache. Six of Crows has certainly help fill the Cassandra Clare void I've been in since Clockwork Princess!

I've had this book a while and finally caved to the Kaz Brekker hype...

And I'm here to stay for it!

This book was full of twists and turns (predictable in that I never doubted Kaz always had something up his sleeve).

The writing style was addictive enough that it pulled me through the multiple character POVs. I tend to have a habit of skimming through 'lesser characters' POVs in most stories - but I found that I enjoyed reading through all five of them in Six of Crows.

I'm emotionally invested in each of the main characters and that's rare for me. They all have their own horrific backgrounds and I can't wait to read through their development in the next book!

I'm diving straight into Crooked Kingdom because if my heart is going to be broken - I just want to get it over with!

Favourite quotes

“When everyone knows you’re a monster, you needn’t waste time doing every monstrous thing.”

Kaz knew death. He could feel its presence on the ship now, looming over them, ready to take his Wraith. He was covered in her blood.

The autumn leaf might cling to its branch, but it was already dead. The only question was when it would fall.

A gambler, a convict, a wayward son, a lost Grisha, a Suli girl who had become a killer, a boy from the Barrel who had become something worse.

She’d laughed, and if he could have bottled the sound and got drunk on it every night, he would have. It terrified him.
