View All4.5 starsI will have you without armor, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all.I had extremely high expectations going into this book because of the hype surrounding it and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINTMENT. I'm kicking myself that I didn't read this earlier. I LOVED IT. I loved the characters and the whole plot and the dynamics between the characters. I also really enjoyed those one-liners as well. I especially love the dynamic between Kaz and Inej and Jesper and Wylan. The Six of Crows team are now my fictional children. The only reason why it's not 5 stars is because some parts were a bit tiring to get through like the heist. The rest had me at the edge of my seat. Can't wait to read Crooked Kingdom!
3.5/5Me costó terminar el libro, es bueno pero no me atrapó como pensé
The heart is an arrow. It demands aim to land true.A gambler, a convict, a wayward son, a lost Grisha, a Suli girl who had become a killer, a boy from the Barrel who had become something worse.Ketterdam is a busy city known for its international trade and where everything is available for a price. Kaz Brekker, a criminal mastermind, is offered a chance to execute a dangerous heist that could make him incredibly wealthy. However, he cannot achieve it alone. He assembles a team of six outcasts, including a convict seeking revenge, a sharpshooter who can't resist a bet, a runaway with a privileged past, a spy known as the Wraith, a Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums, and a thief with an incredible talent for escaping unlikely situations.Kaz's crew is the only hope to prevent a global disaster, but their success depends on their ability to work together, and they may end up turning on each other before they can save the world.I enjoyed the book, though I expected more from it. Like most fantasy books, it was slow in some parts, but I still found myself wanting to come back to it. The story is written in the third person, and each chapter focuses on a specific character, mainly Kaz, Inej, Nina, Matthias, and Jesper. Inej was my favorite character. She is known as the Wraith for a reason. Kaz is supposed to be the mastermind, but we see him fail constantly during the heist, which leads to the ending we get because of his decisions. There are three couples formed within the six characters, and I loved all of them. This story takes place in the same Grishaverse as the Shadow and Bone Trilogy. Many themes are handled here, but the main one is slavery. Most of the characters have a past where they were slaves, alone, in debt, or abandoned, and this is what brought them together. I liked this book a lot. The cliffhanger at the end left me wanting to read more and find out what happens next in the Grishaverse. I would give it 4 stars.
