Appreciation :

Six of Crows is a beautifully complex book with characters who have deep backstories and intense action. I love the layers of each character and how that adds to the realism of the whole story. The occasional humor also helps lighten the mood whenever things get too dark. Overall, I strongly recommend this book to those who love a fantastical world, fierce action and some good old romance.
