The first time I saw Inej’s name from Six of Crows in a post, I thought someone misspelled a Myers Briggs type.
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
[Originally published on my Medium page: link here]
Since I picked this one before its predecessor (Shadow and Bone Trilogy), I felt plunge into the world, yet it only took a couple of chapters to get acquitted well with the world; seriously should have read the trilogy first, but no regrets in getting to meet these characters.
While it may seem that this is an underdog storyline, I think it’d be an insult to underestimate the Six of Crows. Kaz, Inej, Jesper, Nina, Matthias, and Wylan all form the group, and each one is from different parts of life and with different morals, interests, and baggage (psychical and/or mental). My favorite part about this book was having the pleasure of knowing each character. Each of them proves to be useful, determined, strong, and yet flawed; the morally grey characteristic checks out with every one of them and I love it. I didn’t think third-person multiple POV (Point of View) could be written this flawlessly.
Bardugo has managed to not only create a world but incorporate unique characters that you can’t help fall in love with. Now the plot centers around a heist, so there’s a lot of push and pull when it comes to how much information can and should be given to the reader to keep things interesting. Bardugo has tossed every twist, turn, trapped door, and smoke grenades at us; In the front line of danger, but always a step behind.
Read this book if you love heists, fantasy, morally grey characters, and sexual tension (and issues) that won’t get solved and you’re forced to get the 2nd book.
- Rate: 4.5/5
- Time: Took 3 days, read the ending near a dim lamp in the middle of the night.
- Book-shelf Worthy: Yes!

No mourners. No funerals.
We are all someone’s monster.
Do you have a different name for killing when you wear a uniform to do it?
Better terrible truths than kind lies.
The easiest way to steal a man’s watch is to tell him you’re going to steal his watch.
I will have you without armour, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all.

Hellow i’m sorry I didn’t update yesterday I was just very tired last night and had lots of things to do today.
I ended up watching up until episode 4 and now my plan is to binge watch the rest!
I’ll keep you updated (maybe? we’ll see)
Hi i’m at episode 4 now and i’m just gonna share some of my thoughts bc SO FAR THEY’VE FIXED EVERY ISSUE I HAD WITH SHADOW AND BONE ?!
- Mal is PERFECT what the heck I can’t believe that I love him now
- I LOVE what they did with Alina’s character. Instead of going with the ‘i’m not like other girls’ shtick they focused on how different she feels for being half-shu which leaves such a more powerful impact on her storyline (I know they had said that was the direction they were going for in interviews but I was septic. I’m so glad to see they pulled it off extremely well)
- The crows. Nothing needed to be fixed for them of course. Just happy they stayed as incredible as they are. I love them so much.
- Not specifically about the show but I just peaked at twitter and the first thing I saw was a Mal fancam by someone that didn’t read the books? This is great right?
Anyways I feel like I have so much more to say but I can’t remember anything rn. I’ll come back after i’ll have watched a couple more episodes.
I’m sorry if my ramble doesn’t make sense lol
oh my god it’s time i’m gonna watch it i’ve been waiting for this all day i’m shaking what the hell how is this real
