truly beautiful, i loved every character and every single duo. i loved the complexity of each character and how they came to be. it was just so perfect and i love this book so so much and i'll be rereading this for the rest of my life
Re-read in anticipation of the TV show, and because I had forgotten 80% of the dialogues! Still love it.
The best heist movies are filled with intricate planning, last minute challenges thwarted by “actually we meant to do that” reveals, and a cast with a diverse set of strange backgrounds that make them uniquely equipped to pull the whole thing off. So in that sense, Six of Crows is up among the best of the best. The generic fantasy world is SOOOOOO generic and the ethnicities are very real world, painted over with excessive apostrophes so you know it's fantasy, which at times felt a little uncomfortable (like the exotic fantasy version of Roma), but you can tell Bardugo means the diversity earnestly even if she sometimes gets it wrong. And the heist was so very heisty.
This was good. Extremely slow to start, but it picked up momentum as it went along.
