Six of Crows

Ένα από τα πιο καλογραμμένα βιβλία που έχω διαβάσει. Οι χαρακτήρες απίστευτοι, ο καθένας με τη δική του ξεχωριστή προσωπικότητα, την οποία ανακαλύπτεις σε όλη τη διάρκεια του βιβλίου. Η ιστορία εξελίσσεται ομαλά χωρίς να αφήνει κενά, ενώ σε κρατάει σε εγρήγορση μέχρι το τέλος! Είναι must-read!!

A bit different writing than the shadow and bone trilogy which is a big plus for me! The found family trope was beautiful and one of my favorite elements in this book! The plot had the perfect amount of action and the heist storyline keeps you interested until the end!

Καταπληκτικό βιβλίο φαντασίας Ένα απ τα αγαπημένα μου

Μια από τις αγαπημενες μου σειρές είναι απλά τέλειο με υπέροχους χαρακτήρες δυνατή πλοκή και γεμάτο σασπένς

This book was brilliant, the plot, the characters, the word, everything was written and executed so well. I really connected to the characters and their own individual stories. I also really liked that we got to see everyone's point of view in the book so we can understand the characters personality and how they process the same thing differently. The world and the politics were also, to tell you the truth a bit confusing in the begging, but as you continue to read it gets much more easier and once you understand you will see how amazingly the author has written both those things. Lastly I can't say much about the plot without giving away spoilers but the one thing I will say is that you will be at the edge of your seat most of the time.

Υπέροχο storytelling με ακόμα καλύτερους χαρακτήρες!!

This book was magnificent and to tell the truth I don't think I'm able to describe how much I love it! It really made me want to erase any 10/10 stars review I've put jn books and believe me I've read a lot ! ⚜ soc spoilers ahead. Talking about the plot: I have to tell that I really burned many brain cells to understand the ice court heist hahaha! Nonetheless, the plot was amazing with many plot twists! Everyone's backstory was absolutely beautiful and unique with each own kind. I really loved the flashbacks to the past, those little scenes where matched perfect with every chapter and made a huge difference! I have to mention that the scene when Kaz was ordered to take off his leather gloves and revealed his bare hands in front of his crew, was something that really bothered me and disappointed me, I really wanted this to stay and be something between him and Inej. In terms of their chemistry (between Kaz and Inej) I really like how Leigh Bardugh built it. I mean it's really something different than in other contemporary books, it's sweet, innocent; they desire the feeling of being loved and protected by eachother but at the same time they are afraid of this, they are afraid of being someone else's, they are criminals in the end and their pride and stubbornness don't let them reveal those feelings. They maybe are afraid of being known as someone who bent in the name of love. Wylan is the sweetest angel or at least he used to be haha!

''Will it live up to the hype?'', ''Is it overrated?'', ''Is it just characters and no plot?''. I heard these questions really often before starting soc. The truth is I read the trilogy to be well prepared and I had set high standards for this book. I can tell you I fell in love within the first pages of Inej's chapter (after Joost). Because my first language isn't english, just beware that it has kind of a challenging vocabulary. And yes, it was even better then the trilogy. This is one of the best -if not the best- books I have ever read so far, so I'm going to tell you some things in case you are debating reading it. The characters: All the characters have a past, and interesting stories. Each one is different and unique (Matthias is trying). They made me laugh, they made me sad and mad all at the same time. Personally my favorite crow is Kaz, and he is also a bit of a comfort character. What he went through was terrible and it is really interesting to watch him deal with it, to overcome it, letting it haunt him, and trying to put it aside for a person that finally cared, that has also had a terrible past. Wylan and Jesper always made me laugh and Nina and Matthias have such an interesting story. So yes, the characters are everything. The plot: I will try to avoid spilers. The whole journey of the crows getting together, and trying not to kill eachother while pulling off this imossible heist was incredible. The time during the heist (at the prison) was full of action, suspense, and plot twists. I understand it had a lot of flashbacks, but I found that interesting and a good addition to the plot, because the past makes a huge role on how the plot changes, based on how they act and what desisions they make. Also, (to sup up my essay lmao) I loved how Leigh mentioned she has osteonecrosis and had Kaz have a limp, giving something of herself to the story, saying that she gets through it with the right people, it was heartwarming.

I have said it for other books too, but I should have read Six of Crows earlier. I finished it this month and it is certainly a five - star read for me. I loved the story of an impossible heist and I really liked the setting of it. Ketterdam sounds like a lace I would like to see. It has excellent world-building and the story is dark, action packed and with magic and some romance. I also really liked the characters, they are so mixed up in their own way. I love how morally grey all of them are. I was hooked from the beginning and it continued until the last page with many plot twists. I also liked the mention of characters from Shadow and Bone. My favourite characters are Inej and Kaz and I really enjoyed their interactions. Inej has gone through a lot but she has come out strong. Kaz is a very complex character. he is manipulative, smart and an antihero. He also cares for his friends even if he doesn't admit it. I love The Dregs as a group. Their relationships and dynamics are everything. Highly recommend it but I believe most of you have already read it.

ήθελα να το διαβάσω απ' όταν βγήκε αλλά χαίρομαι που δεν το έκανα γιατί αν και λειτουργεί και ως standalone σειρά στο grishaverse έχοντας διαβάσει την προηγούμενη τριλογία το κάνει ακόμα καλύτερο. οι χαρακτήρες είναι απίστευτα ρεαλιστικοί και καλοφτιαγμένοι, αντιπροσωπεύουν με τον ιδανικότερο τρόπο το found family trope, και καταφέρνουν να είναι ξεχωριστοί ο καθένας με τον δικό του τρόπο. αυτό, αν το συνδυάσεις με την μαγνητική πλοκή της ιστορίας, που δεν σε αφήνει να κλείσεις το βιβλίο και να πας για ύπνο αν δεν μάθεις τι γίνεται στο τέλος, το κάνουν σίγουρα το καλύτερο βιβλίο που έχω διαβάσει στο genre του. δεν υπάρχουν λόγια πραγματικά. την έχω στην καρδιά μου αυτή την ιστορία, και ανυπομωνώ να δω πώς θα διαχειριστούν τους χαρακτήρες στη σειρά του νέτφλιξ.
