ReviewPraise for Six of Crows: Pages of crackling dialogue and sumptuous description . . . If you're not careful, it'll steal all your time.--The New York TimesHarry Potter meets Game of Thrones with a dash of 19th century Europe and a caper twist."--Los Angeles Times"If Ocean's 11 was a textbook exercise in plotting, character development and the ol' bait-and-switch reveal, then Six Of Crows is a thesis on how these lessons can be deployed in genre fiction."--NPR.[Six of Crows] is a masterfully plotted, multiple-P.O.V. heist tale. Each of the six characters central to the narrative are from "desperate situations" fleshed out by Bardugo's richly told backstories, and take on a crazy risky quest.--Vanity Fair"Utterly, extremely bewitching."--The GuardianThis has all the right elements to keep readers enthralled: a cunning leader with a plan for every occasion, nigh-impossible odds, an entertainingly combative team of skilled misfits, a twisty plot, and a nerve-wracking cliffhanger.--Publishers Weekly, starred ReviewCracking page-turner with a multi ethnic band of misfits with differing sexual orientations who satisfyingly, believably jell into a family.--Kirkus Reviews, starred ReviewSet in a world that will be familiar to fans of the author, this book can be fully enjoyed without having read any previous title. . . .
