Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
5.0
Let all hell break loose.
After four years of convincing myself that I'll pick this book next and maybe, intimidation, I finally picked Six of Crows from my TBR and if you're wondering if I liked it, we'll see.
Goodreads and bookstagram people were right, this book is the shining, shimmering, splendid read of this decade and I'm so happy I decided to read this before the year ends. Why? Because everything in this book felt right. From Kaz Brekker to Inej Ghafa to Nina Zenik to Matthias Helvar to Jesper to Wylab Van Eck, our *smol* MCs all stood out in their unique ways and they're lovable as hell, too. Kaz with his mysterious scheme and devious plans, Inej with her ghost-like stealth, Jesper and his love for revolvers, Wylan and his unique gifts, Nina with her allure and beauty, and Matthias with his go-with-your-heart mantra. Everything on this book is about taking risk and Leigh successfully delivered all the goods considering that this is a follow up series from the Shadow and Bone trilogy.
Actually, I have zero idea when I first bought this book. I'm just fascinated with the blurb and some of my bookstagram friends are recommending it for so long. I just realized that this was a book based on the Grisha world two years after the Shadow and Bone trilogy event when I read an article relate to the Netflix adaptation. That's also one of the reason why I read this book, I have to know the craze and the buzz surrounding this world before it come alive into the big screen.
Anyways, this book is full of surprises. Every chapter is filled with bombs and curveballs that will surely leave your mind blown into bits after flipping the last page of each chapter. It's just too enjoyable to read a book that continue to surprise you. Anyways, props to Leigh for delivering this gem to the bookish community and I can't wait to read Crooked Kingdom soon. For the mean time, let me just mourn the quest our *smol* squad finished just to came up with nothing. And sorry I forget, I won't mourn.
No mourners. No funerals.
RATING: Thirty million kruge
