I just finished "Six of Crows" last night! It was VERY good! Have you read "The Grisha Trilogy" by Leigh? You must if you love this world. The series do have tie ins to each other.

Yes, Britt-Marie was what I thought was a companion book, I called a sequel. Not as good. too bad! Loved the characters in Grandmother!
Lisa wrote: "Yes, Britt-Marie was what I thought was a companion book, I called a sequel. Not as good. too bad! Loved the characters in Grandmother!"If you loved that, you definitely have to read A Man Called Ove! I read Grandmother first as well but still equally loved Ove.
Hillbilly Elegy by J. D. Vance and Magic Binds by Ilona Andrews (about as different a pair as possible!)
The Women in the Castle by Jessica Shuttuckand
Exodus of Magic by Simone Pond; can't wait for the sequel.
