Six dangerous outcasts, one impossible heist.
Ketterdam is a busy, bustling metropolis of trade, commerce and dark alleys, where anything can be bought or sold. Not a single soul in Ketterdam knows that better than criminal, thief, and murderer Kaz Brekker. When Kaz plans to attempt an impossible heist, he realizes he can’t do it alone.
He needs:
A spy known as the Wraith
A sharpshooter who can’t stay away from the gambling halls
A Heartrender who uses her power to survive the barrel
A runaway with a noble’s past
And a Fjerdan who betrayed his people
Meet the prized members of the Dregs, the ones who could stand between Ketterdam’s destruction or survival — as long as they don’t kill one another first.
Six of Crows was unlike anything I’ve ever read before. It was an extreme page-turner with a unique story. This book captured me within the first chapter. Between the diverse culture of the story world and the characters’ back stories that leave you wanting to know more, I saw no flaw in this book.
I strongly suggest you read this if you like Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and even certain types of fiction. Though there are very few books I’ve come across that are similar, I’d suggest any of Leigh Bardugo’s other books, Fablehaven by Brandon Mull, and the Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard.
