Six of Crows | May 15, 2017

by Leigh Bardugo (Henry Holt Books for Young Readers / Macmillan, September 2015)

Six+of+Crows

For evidence of how skyscraping-ly high my TBR pile is, look no further than the fact that I’m just now getting around to reading Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows.  I’m so glad I finally did though, because this book is AMAZING! For those of you who are likewise behind the times on this book, I’ll give a quick summary: teen criminal mastermind Kaz Brekker leads a group of six outcasts from the slums of a dangerous city on a mission to rescue a chemist with a deadly power from an impenetrable fortress. Chaos, of course, ensues. The fantasy setting is wonderfully rich and detailed, and the characters are utterly unforgettable (I mean, who can resist a charming antihero!?). And now off to go buy the second book, Crooked Kingdom!
