Melody answers “Everyone is raving about this book but I...”

Rachel asked this question about Six of Crows (Six of Crows, #1):

Everyone is raving about this book but I just can't get into it. I've read the first two chapters and they are so confusing. Is there a book I should read before this one?

Melody Although it's recommended, I didn't read the Grisha trilogy before Six of Crows, and I was very confused the first few chapters. If you started readin…moreAlthough it's recommended, I didn't read the Grisha trilogy before Six of Crows, and I was very confused the first few chapters. If you started reading this book because the plot was interesting, just push through the whole of part 1 (Chapters 1-6), and then everything will make more sense. The characters that you need to worry most about in order are
1. Kaz
2. Inej
3. Jesper
4. Nina
5. Matthias
6. Wylan
I personally consider Wylan as a side character because him being there doesn't change much of the book and although he's considered a main character, he's not really that significant (again, in my opinion. no offence to anyone who thinks differently).
So yeah, that's that.
