Six of Crows

Kaz Brekker and his crew of specialists excite the mind while working together to pull off what should be a impossible heist.

When you’re slumming it in Ketterdam, it helps if your friends are skilled in things like lock-picking, scaling Walls and shooting firearms.  

Six of Crows is a definite read for thrilling adventure seekers.  The gang known as The Dregs take the reader on shootouts, break-ins and many decisive meetings all while at each other’s throats. 

Author, Leigh Bardugo gives each character a meaningful backstory griping the reader to care about them.  Each character is developed into these rich stories within the novel and reading them is full of emotions like loss and grief. 

The exciting skill sets of each character provides a light and easy dynamic throughout challenges and trip-ups on the pages of Six of Crows.

All these factors would make this book a great standalone novel and that’s what makes it cringeworthy that the story couldn’t be wrapped up in one book.  It’s frustratingly a duology.

Authors are constantly trying to drag out what would be a great story into a bore of a second or third book.  Much like 50 Shades droned on through the second book of nonsensical wild goose chase plots.  

Still,if you’re into provoking heists… its a must read.
