Six of Crows
Book 1
By Leigh Bardugo
Harry Hartog's review
Six young criminals need to work together to pull off an impossible heist; to break into an impenetrable military stronghold and retrieve a hostage who has the knowledge to either save or end the world. That is, if they don't kill each other first! This ensemble of misfits is one to fall in love with, and with twists and turns at every corner, Leigh keeps you on your toes. I blasted through this book in one sitting and more than once threw it across the room and audibly screamed. For what is basically a fantasy Oceans 11, it is even better than Bardugo's original Shadow & Bone series, (which isn't a prerequisite read) and I couldn't recommend it more for anyone looking for a bit of fun, enemies to lovers, and a heck of a lot of cliff-hangers. - Maddy, Harry Hartog Burnside
