I have to say that Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo is one of the best books I've read in my entire life. I have it 5/5 stars on Goodreads.

This book is a YA Fantasy, and even though I haven't read a lot of fantasy books this one grasped my attention from page one.

Description

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
Kaz’s crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction—if they don’t kill each other first.

Spoiler Free Review

This is a very hyped book and honestly I was scared of reading it because I thought I might not like it. I procrastinated reading it for a long time and then I decided to finally get to it.

And OH MY GOD! I did not expect to be swept off my feet by how amazing this book is! The world, the characters, especially the characters, everything about it is perfect! I've never read a book with such unique and well thought out characters with depth. I nominate Leigh Bardugo as the Queen of well developed characters.

I’ve never read a book about a heist and with so much action, I’ve only seen that in movies and now reading about it was so much better, way better.

I loved everything about Six of Crows, the plot, the characters, the heist, the twists, every single thing! I especially loved how we learn more about the characters as the story unfolds.

I recommend this book to anyone who loves a well thought out fantasy world with equally though out characters.

Six of Crows has a sequel, Crooked Kingdom and I love it even more than Six of Crows. Tell me if you want a review on that one too.
