The best heist movies are filled with intricate planning, last minute challenges thwarted by "actually we meant to do that" reveals, and a cast with a diverse set of strange backgrounds that make them uniquely equipped to pull the whole thing off. So in that sense, Six of Crows is up among the best of the best. The generic fantasy world is SOOOOOO generic and the ethnicities are very real world, painted over with excessive apostrophes so you know it's fantasy, which at times felt a little uncomfortable (like the exotic fantasy version of Roma), but you can tell Bardugo means the diversity earnestly even if she sometimes gets it wrong. And the heist was so very heisty.

Six of Crows was definitely a pleasant surprise for a person who isn't typically a fan of young-adult fiction. But I needed something a bit different from my usual M/M adventures, and a good number of my GR friends gave favorable reviews to this particular book.
So here I am.
As the title implies, this book is made up of six main characters, and narration is split among only five of them. The author also spends a good portion of her time going over each characters' past, with the exception of one of the character (who is later explored in the sequel). The story itself is very fast paced with an edge-of-your-seat momentum that was able to carry through the slow drag of each characters' past. I'm not usually a fan of flashbacks, especially when you have five characters' worth of them to explore. But I didn't mind it too …

The relationships between the characters are also a hook for the romantic in me. No spoilers here, but you do get to see some great development happening throughout the book.
Overall, Six of Crows was a great read. I was a bit sad that my favorite character didn't get his own POV, but each character did shine through the challenges they faced. Great adventure, great characters, and a nicely constructed world.
