By Leigh Bardugo

Overview: The grishaverse is a really rich world, where no detail is spared and everything feels so realistically described! The heist is really well-planned, and everything was so well paced and excited! The characters were all so realistic, and they all grew and changed over the course of the story. I would recommend this to people ages 14-17. The content level is definitely for older kids, along with the reading level.

What’s it about? Seventeen year old crime boss prodigy Kaz Brekker has a plan. But he needs help to execute it. Kaz brings in a very unlikely and mismatched group of misfits to help him carry out an “impossible heist.” Can the motley crew make it out of this heist alive?

My thoughts: It was really fun to read about the forming of the plan and the execution if the plan and the character’s thought process as they work around the kinks… The story is written in a way that each chapter is from a different character’s point of view, which makes it really fun to see how the characters feel about each other and the way everything fits together. The style really fits the story. Books like this (which are mostly about the group dynamic of people from all walks of life) can be adorable to read, even when the situation is dire. I was not much of a fan of Leigh Bardugo’s other series, Shadow and Bone, (Sorry, I know a lot of people really love it) but I thought Six of Crows was amazing and was really glad I decided to read it. I know you’ll be too!
