George asked Leigh Bardugo:

I've read the synopsis of Six of Crows, and I became so excited to read it. Can I read it and comfortably enjoy it and understand everything in it, without needing to read the Grisha trilogy? Thanks!

Leigh Bardugo Yes! You'll be fine. You don't need to have read the trilogy to dive right into Six of Crows.

Six of Crows takes place two years after the end of the Grisha Trilogy, but it focuses on a totally new cast of characters and is set in a different country. If you haven't read the trilogy, you'll get spoiled for a few things that happen in those books and you'll get misdirected on a few others (just because people think they know the story, doesn't mean they know the truth). If you *have* read the trilogy, I've buried lots of little treats and shout-outs in Six of Crows.

Hope that helps and happy reading :)
