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

YA novel that got me back into reading (before ib destroyed it again)

charlowwe

The Grishaverse will be coming to Netflix soon with Shadow and Bone, an original series Enter the Grishaverse with the #1 New York Times-bestselling Six of Crows. Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price--and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz 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. . . . A convict with a thirst for revenge. A sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager. A runaway with a privileged past. A spy known as the Wraith. A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums. A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz's crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction--if they don't kill each other first. Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo returns to the breathtaking world of the Grishaverse in this unforgettable tale about the opportunity--and the adventure--of a lifetime. "Six of Crows is a twisty and elegantly crafted masterpiece that thrilled me from the beginning to end." -New York Times-bestselling author Holly Black "Six of Crows is] one of those all-too-rare, unputdownable books that keeps your eyes glued to the page and your brain scrambling to figure out what's going to happen next." -Michael Dante DiMartino, co-creator of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra "There's conflict between morality and amorality and an appetite for sometimes grimace-inducing violence that recalls the Game of Thrones series. But for every bloody exchange there are pages of crackling dialogue and sumptuous description. Bardugo dives deep into this world, with full color and sound. If you're not careful, it'll steal all your time." --The New York Times Book Review Praise for the Grishaverse "A master of fantasy." --The Huffington Post "Utterly, extremely bewitching." --The Guardian "The best magic universe since Harry Potter." --Bustle "This is what fantasy is for." --The New York Times Book Review " A] world that feels real enough to have its own passport stamp." --NPR "The darker it gets for the good guys, the better." --Entertainment Weekly "Sultry, sweeping and picturesque. . . . Impossible to put down." --USA Today "There's a level of emotional and historical sophistication within Bardugo's original epic fantasy that sets it apart." --Vanity Fair "Unlike anything I've ever read." --Veronica Roth, bestselling author of Divergent "Bardugo crafts a first-rate adventure, a poignant romance, and an intriguing mystery " --Rick Riordan, bestselling author of the Percy Jackson series "This is a great choice for teenage fans of George R.R. Martin and J.R.R. Tolkien." --RT Book Reviews Read all the books in the Grishaverse The Shadow and Bone Trilogy (previously published as The Grisha Trilogy) Shadow and Bone Siege and Storm Ruin and Rising The Six of Crows Duology Six of Crows Crooked Kingdom The Language of Thorns: Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic

i mourn the fact that i will never be able to read this for the first time again

It was so easy to fall into the story and universe while reading this book all of the characters and the story itself are very well written the chapters jumping between the different povs of the main 6 made it super easy to get attached to them all and appreciate all their independent identities

Ok, I get the hype. I finally know why people love Six of Crows. After the disappointment of the Shadow and Bone series, I was skeptical about Leigh Bardugo's books. But I'm so glad that this book proves me wrong. The heist in the book is perfectly executed. I love how scheme-y Kaz Brekker is. I think Kaz and the rest of the Crows are written exceptionally well when compared to the Shadow and Bone series. It helps that each member has a dedicated chapter so we get to read their thoughts and learn about their backstories and how they ended up in Katterdam and Kaz's crew. This is one thing that's lacking in the Shadow and Bone series. And because we have the insights of each character, we know about their quirks, the story makes more sense when the plot twist is revealed. Kaz's always hiding stuff from his crew and it's on brand. He never reveals his hands until much later. So the plot twists make perfect sense, especially if you're reading about the other character's perspectives. The plot in this book is so much more engaging as well. We don't just focus on the Grisha, the world has expanded and now we have the Fjerda and the Suli and the others. I like that we get to explore the world more. And she did a great job expanding the world, showing us the nitty gritty details, especially Katterdam. It's a place where the hooligans run amok, but it's also a place where you can make a name for yourself. I'm really excited to see how Kaz develops as a character in the next book. Here, we learned about his trauma and how it affected him during the heist. So I'm eager to see how he's going to heal from his wound, get his girl (swoonnnn when he says his girl) and finally get his revenge. And speaking of Kaz and the crews, there's no way in hell you can convince me that these people are in their late teens. There's no way a 17yo kid can come up with a scheme like this. Also, I'm so glad I read the Shadow and Bone series before starting this, because it gives me a better understanding of the Grisha and their powers.

"But if they managed it, even after Per Haskell got his cut, Kaz's share of the scrub would be enough to change everything, to finally put into motion the dream he'd had since he'd first crawled out of a cold harbor with revenge burning a hole in his heart. His debt to Jordie would be paid at last" (51) A heist for a precious drug with millions of kruge on the line? A magical universe? Six interesting characters? These are some of the things which combine to form the popular novel "Six of Crows", which drew me into picking it up. Despite owning it for a while yet, I have yet to read the "Shadow and Bone" trilogy, which I thought was a necessity to enjoy it. That aside, for the first hundred or so pages, I was quite lost into this story--but not in the good kind where one is immersed into the universe. Instead, it was like being pulled into cold water with no way out; the time it took me to read it is telling on if I wanted to continue. However, it started getting better. I enjoyed Leigh's writing style a lot; she balances showing and telling, and gives different dimensions to the characters. One of my favorite parts was Inej reminiscing about her parents-- "Shall I tell you the secret of true love? her father once asked her. A friend of mine liked to tell me that women love flowers. He had many flirtations, but he never found a wife. Do you know why? Because women may love flowers, but only one woman loves the scent of gardenias in late summer that remind her of her grandmother's porch. Only one woman loves apple blossoms in a blue cup. Only one woman loves wild geraniums." (136) While I was quite lost with the plot, the descriptions and flashbacks added more to the story. I also like learning about the characters and their dynamics. One particular one was the tension between Matthias and Nina, with the former's dogmatism combined with his feelings of betrayal for the latter. The scene in which they were stranded on ice and end up more intimate was one of the best-written scenes of the book. As the plot came closer to the end, I appreciated the writing more. Especially when it came down to the clock designations Bardugo designated through the book. It made it all more intense. While it starts slow, Six of Crows grows to become quite a fulfilling book. The characters are all interesting and there's a plot which is quite unique in fantasy literature. However, I would like to get more fully absorbed into the world, which can leave you hanging in some places. Therefore, a reread may be necessary. Until then, "no mourners, no funerals". 8/10

A Ketterdam, vivace centro di scambi commerciali internazionali, non c'è niente che non possa essere comprato e nessuno lo sa meglio di Kaz Brekker, cresciuto nei vicoli bui e dannati del Barile, la zona più malfamata della città, un ricettacolo di sporcizia, vizi e violenza. Kaz, detto anche Manisporche, è un ladro spietato, bugiardo e senza un grammo di coscienza che si muove con disinvoltura tra bische clandestine, traffici illeciti e bordelli, con indosso gli immancabili guanti di pelle nera e un bastone decorato con una testa di corvo. Uno che, nonostante la giovane età, tutti hanno imparato a temere e rispettare. Un giorno Brekker viene avvicinato da uno dei più ricchi e potenti mercanti della città e gli viene offerta una ricompensa esorbitante a patto che riesca a liberare lo scienziato Bo Yul-Bayur dalla leggendaria Corte di Ghiaccio, una fortezza considerata da tutti inespugnabile. Una missione impossibile che Kaz non è in grado di affrontare da solo. Assoldati i cinque compagni di avventura - un detenuto con sete di vendetta, un tiratore scelto col vizio del gioco, uno scappato di casa con un passato da privilegiato, una spia che tutti chiamano lo "Spettro", una ragazza dotata di poteri magici -, ladri e delinquenti con capacità fuori dal comune e così disperati da non tirarsi indietro nemmeno davanti alla possibilità concreta di non fare più ritorno a casa, Kaz è pronto a tentare l'ambizioso quanto azzardato colpo. Per riuscirci, però, lui e i suoi compagni dovranno imparare a lavorare in squadra e a fidarsi l'uno dell'altro, perché il loro potenziale può sì condurli a compiere grandi cose, ma anche provocare grossi danni... Finalmente arriva in Italia il primo romanzo della duologia che ha consacrato Leigh Bardugo come una delle voci più talentuose e autorevoli della narrativa fantasy. Una serie ambientata in un mondo articolato e straordinario, il GrishaVerse, dove si muovono personaggi sapientemente costruiti e sfaccettati. Una storia avventurosa ricca di colpi di scena che vi mancherà nell'istante stesso in cui avrete letto l'ultima pagina.

GrishaVerse - Sei di corvi

Melissa Cometto

Pensavate che avessi finito col Grishaverse eh? E INVECE NO! Abbiamo ancora da scoprire la duologia de Il sei di Corvi. “Siamo tutti i mostri di qualcun altro” Ketterdam. Città portuale nota per gli scambi commerciali internazionali. Una città in cui tutto ha un prezzo ed ogni cosa può essere comprata. Ecco dov’è cresciuto Kaz Brekker, nei bassifondi del Barile, la zona più malfamata di Ketterdam. “Sono stato fatto per proteggerti. Solo la morte potrà sottrarmi a questo giuramento” Kaz è un noto ladro e truffatore, motivi per cui si guadagna il nomignolo di Manisporche, ed un giorno viene avvicinato da uno dei mercanti più ricchi e potenti della città, il quale gli offre una cospicua ricompensa a patto che lui riesca a liberare lo scienziato Bo Yul-Bayur dalla famosissima e temutissima corte di ghiaccio, ritenuta inespugnabile e presidiata dai temibili Drüskelle. Così Kaz mette insieme questa sgangherata combriccola di criminali, Gli Scarti, per portare a termine questo colpo:Inej, lo spettro, Jesper il miglior tiratore del Barile, Nina la Grisha più cazzuta del mondo, Matthias il Fjerdiano (quasi) tutto d’un pezzo e Wylan, che a voler vedere, non si sa bene come sia finito in mezzo a questi criminali … Ma non è tutto un po’ troppo facile? Un libro mozzafiato che mi ha tenuta incollata alle pagine un colpo di scena dopo l’altro, non riuscivo più a smettere di leggere, ogni colpo di scena, ogni intrigo, ogni storia nella storia, tutto mi teneva lì, inchiodata, smaniosa di saperne di più. “Nessun rimpianto. Nessun funerale”

“𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦'𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #SixOfCrows was everything I thought it would be coming from Leigh Bardugo. It's an awesome mix of fantasy and heist. I loved getting to know each of the characters in this crew. It's high stakes and it'll keep you on your toes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I can't wait for the Netflix adaptation!!

I love the complexity of the characters, their lives, and their personality. Surprise after surprise. Each character’s lives and moments were a pleasure to witness.

Jeffrey Mabanag

really nicely written. I feel very attached to the characters, even when there were at least 2 significant things that bother me about each character (in a good-characters-are-flawed way). love how the characters really feel like theyre seventeen or eighteen like the dialogue is perfect for this. the skills everyone has make sense and arent too far fetched for the back stories given. and i love the romance (even the straight romance... that's how u know it's good).

vindhya

Apart from their ages, I don’t see how this is YA, but it was v v good. 

Hannah Bateman

This was really well written. I enjoyed the complexity of the characters and the banter between them. The actual heists were a bit far fetched but entertaining. In my mind the characters were not 16 and 17 year olds. The banter and maturity just does not fit that age group. Looking forward to part 2!

Saffia

how do i even start? i can't believe i finished this in one sitting. i could not put this book down.

everything about it was amazing. the characters, their personalities and relationships, the scenery, the plot, the writing, all of it came together so perfectly to create something in mind mine i could never dream up on my own. the imagery was so strong and beautiful, it was like i was just watching a movie. 

the ending was very satisfying, personally, and i'm about to immediately dive into the second book. 

thank you to my beautiful girlfriend for forcing me to read her favorite book. 💗

Set in the universe of Bardugo’s debut trilogy (

 follows a heist by six criminal teenagers from Ketterdam, Kerch — or fictional Netherlands, if you please — in the Ice Court of Fjerda — again, fictional Scandinavia, as I understood — where they are tasked by a Kerch merchant with breaking out a Shu scientist held prisoner for inventing a drug that heightens the Grishas’ powers, and eventually kills them from the addiction. 

For the sake of transparency, finishing the 

 trilogy a few years ago was a small torture for me. I found the characters flat and boring, and plot predictable and corny — the typical ingredients of an ambitious YA series that falls short on invoking the desired effect, and progressively loses its momentum book after book. That is to say, I was hesitant to take 

 off my bookshelf and give Bardugo another try, even a few years later, even after stumbling upon countless online reviews claiming that 

 is better, but it's only one crucial component that makes it so — the characters. For me, 

 is a prime example of compelling characters making an otherwise, yes, predictable and corny plot that much more enjoyable and interesting. Don’t get me wrong, there was not one moment where I didn’t know exactly what was waiting for me on the next page — but anticipating to see a character’s reaction, or if they happened to be the narrators of that chapter, their thoughts and feelings, still made me turn the page. And that’s what matters most of the time when looking for a quick, feel-good reading experience. 

It still brought negatives to the table, though, because I cannot bring myself to lie, there comes a point when it finally makes you feel somewhat cheated, and it was — fortunately, or maybe not, depends how you look at it: the journey or the destination — the ending. Because when you set up a character to be the smartest person in the room, in every scene they are in through each of the six points of views of this book, I’m sorry but it’s only going to come off as ridiculous when they end up royally fucked over by the cheapest and most obvious trick in the book. (A trick that was painfully clear for the reader to see, and anticipate in horror to happen since the page the final antagonist was introduced on, because he cannot just 

 notice it, the criminal mastermind that has the city at his beck and call despite his young age, when it should be the first thing to raise red flags in his head if he actually had as much sense as the book wants me to believe he does.)

I choose to look at the journey, which allows me more room to say I enjoyed reading this book and give it a good rating, and be excited to read the second book of this duology. Because the characters and their dynamics really are that fun.

I was initially worried about the relationships — our six characters are basically just three couples, not that tightly woven all around as each mostly keeping to a partner throughout the story with a few and far between out-right friendly interactions with the others outside of what the job requires. Which sounds like everyone’s nightmare high school friend group, doesn’t it? I hold out hope that the friendships get more developed and get more showcased in the sequel, but I think the romantic interests were set up pretty well already. We have pairings in various stages of a relationship — scorned lovers finding their way back to each other, close companions growing more aware of their feelings and accepting them, trying to figure out a way for these feelings to exist in their lives, and strangers meeting for the first time and beginning to grow a seed of affection in their hearts throughout the journey together. 

I also like to believe that Bardugo’s prose grew as well, though my memories of the writing style in 

 are hazy at best, I only know for certain that I had problems with that as well back then, but found myself in awe of certain passages in 

. The chapter of Inej climbing the incinerator shaft stayed with me for days, it definitely finishes in front as the strongest chapter of this book for me.

will forever be one of my fav books... honestly skipped the whole shadows and bones saga just to read the soc dilogy, should i read the others?

xie lian fr

so engaging and well thought out, with highly developed world-building. i was hooked from beginning to end and binged it in a fit of eagerness. i like kaz a lot….

I loved this book. I feel its one of the best in the genre I've read. It was a written heist which I have never read before. It really felt like you were assembling a gang of misfits. 

It also felt like the most wild DND adventure going off the rails. It felt like the random wack ass shit my friends would do. The characters were all very unique and had such interesting dynamics. Nina and Mattais's romance is like amazing which is likely a very unhinged thing to say. Reminded me of my own DND characer HAHA. Really enjoyed and can't wait to read the next in the series.

I think I would have liked this book more if I've read it in my teen years.

I find the story a bit underwhelming. I wanted to get invested in the story but the it was slow paced and the characters did not read as teenagers but like people who are in their mid twenties. I was so confused for the first 100 pages, because I felt like I'm reading a story from the middle point, so many names and places were mentioned without any explanations. Also using Dutsch words, without mentioning any English definition was very confusing.

I understand that it's a duology but I would want to get closure at the end of a book, it felt like that it was a longer story cut in half to encourage the reader to read the second book as well.

“The heart is an arrow. It demands aim to land true.” ― Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows


Este libro tenía mis expectativas muy altas, y ver la reciente serie de netflix basada en todo este universo solo hizo que crecieran mas, me parece que fue un poco desventajoso haberla visto antes de leer la duologia pero eso no cambio mi modo de ver a los personajes. Estas seis historias que se conectan entre si son de lo más fascinantes, me encanto el poder ver (o en este caso) la historia desde los distintos puntos de vista, me parece que eso lo hace mas única y a su vez mas intrigante, pensaba que mi personaje favorito seria Kaz ya que su personalidad es muy atrayente pero Ines que ha llevado todos mis suspiros y gritos de fan loca, esta chica alias el espectro me tiene tan enamorada que iría ya mismo a alistarme en su tripulación cuando consiga ese barco que tanto desea, en el momento que se da cuenta que al fin encontró su propósito en la vida y que ese dinero por el que arriesgan sus vidas la llevara a cumplirlo mientras escalaba por la chimenea casi derritiéndose me llevo al alma. Nina y Matthias tiene una historia muy hermosa pero oscura que lleva a esta humilde servidora a fanguirlear a morir, me parece una Grisha súper poderosa que sabe lo que quiere y hace lo que sea para conseguirlo, Jesper y Wylan me tenían muerta de la risa con sus interacciones y para mí el ver que Jesper es mucho más de lo que se deja ver me encanta. Todos los planes que se maquinaban en la cabeza de Kaz eran increíbles, cuando estaba segura de que entendía algo BAM! Resultaba ser una cosa completamente diferente, me parece que esta todo súper bien pensado para que el lector quede en la locura. Sin duda ese final no me lo esperaba pero a la vez estaba modo alerta por si pasaba cualquier cosa, de todos modos me llego la mandíbula al suelo cuando me di cuenta que YA ME LO HABÍA TERMINADO, cuando lo termine le di 4 estrellas pero al meditarlo y consultarlo con mi almohada, y por el hecho de que no dejo de pensar en el, sin dudas es un libro de 5 estrellas.

I had written a full review pouring my heart out for this book, which got deleted….. so here I am again.


The perfect book.

Want a book with great world building? Six of crows!
A book with incredible character depth? Six of crows.
A book with an amazing plot that keeps you hooked throughout the whole reading experience? And wouldn’t you guess, it’s six of crows.

And if thats not all I need to say, let me tell you more.

Six of crows is aa story about 5 teens who team up to pull of the ultimate and utterly impossible jail break. Each for their own gain.

You live with them through every second of struggle, you learn about them and get to know them.

So much so that when they’re happy, you’re happy. And when they’re sad, you’re sad. And when they find the slightest glimmer of hope you’ll pray and beg for them to stay hopeful and find their way out of their own troubles.

You will so innocently and unknowingly fall in love with each and every single one of these characters, and you’ll even find yourself missing them. This book is everything it needs to be, it’s the perfect amount of tragedy, betrayal and loss mixed with love, friendship and overall awesomeness. 

If you haven’t read it, read it. You’ll never regret this decision in your LIFE.

My comfort duology🫶

I just have to say since this is a most asked question, you def don’t have to read the shadow and bone trilogy before reading this!! If you would like to learn more about the magic system and politics of the world then sure! Go for it, but it’s absolutely not necessary.

A flawless heist. The perfect plot. And the best characters. I’m completely blown away — I LOVED this. It was so funny, atmospheric, tense, twisty, unexpected. The Shadow and Bone trilogy was okay… but now I’m so glad I read it because I was able to jump right into this world without much explanation. And my god. These characters. Inej? Kaz? Nina? Jesper? Wylan? Matthias? I love them all. Cannot wait to read the sequel.
