⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I think that Six of Crows must be my favorite book ever. It's fast paced and kept me guessing until the very end. The character building in this book is phenomenal, plus we get amazing lines like this:
"'It's not natural for women to fight.' She rolled her eyes. 'It's not natural for someone to be as stupid as he is tall, yet here you stand.'"
"When everyone know you're a monster, you needn't waste time doing every monstrous thing."
And the infamous: "'My ghost won't associate with your ghost.' Matthias said primly, and then wondered if the sea air was rotting his brain."
Six of Crows is a fantastic story about the kids society rejects going around and wrecking havoc. It is so different from any book I have ever read because it isn't about a "chosen one," it isn't about the greater good, and it isn't centered around people society deems worthy. It's a book that has characters that tend to be ignored. It's a book about a gang of misfits who find their family in each other, despite the world chewing them up and spitting them out. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fantastic fantasy novel that includes crime and found-family, as well as diversity and inclusion.
