“Full-throttle adventure . . . If you’re not careful, it’ll steal all your time.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Six of Crows is a well-turned heist tale. . . [It] has a muscle car’s drive and a cast that hangs with you like they were made of magnets.” —NPR
This whirlwind of a book is like a rollercoaster ride through a world of gritty crime and dark magic. Bardugo weaves a tale that pulls you in with its complex characters and non-stop action. It's a refreshing twist from the usual fantasy fare, mixing high stakes with a cast of misfits who are anything but forgettable. If you're a fan of fantasy with a touch of heist adventure, this one's for you.
