Product Information

Bardugo's prose is awesome, and there are some truly gorgeous quotes from here. Then again, it doesn't feel as if she's trying too hard or using purple prose. I'm no longer surprised that this being an all-time-favorite of so many readers. It certainly made it to mine. Cannot wait to start Crooked Kingdom... BUT ANYWAY this is a five star review and that means I don’t have to complain!!! Who knew!! All new to me. The characters in this book are so fantastic. Our gang is made up of six people, whom I will now list here as if it’s even slightly possible that anyone hasn’t read this book yet. They are: Kaz, Inej, Jesper, Wylan, Nina, Matthias. Ahhh, now we are at big grumpy Matthias. My favorite Fjerdan! He's really just a giant teddy bear. (Okay, he's actually not but I can pretend.) He and Nina are perfect for each other... even though they are kinf-of not-really mortal enemies. Oops.

His eyes were blue fire. “Everything,” he said, as he turned to go. “Everything.” I love these books with my entire soul and heart. I wish I was an octopus so I had three hearts to love it with in place of one. It was so well written, and I was in love with the plot from the beginning. Despite being slightly slow in the beginning, it really helped the build up in the first book. And the second book...Just - O.M.G! I guess I can elaborate on that, but really it’s going to boil down to the same thing. Which is me screaming.Handwritten ANNOTATIONS by Leigh Bardugo with thoughts and insights in the first book, Six of Crows Next, Kaz recruits Jesper Fahey. He is the crew's sharpshooter.
