Hi Katie,
Short answer is no you don't. Leigh Bardugo has said that she wrote this so that it can be read without having read the Grisha trilogy. I haven't read the shadow and bone trilogy and I understood and enjoyed the Six of Crows duology just fine.
However some people do argue that it is a lot easier to understand the world building/magic system if you have read that trilogy first (although like I said I understood everything without doing so). And also because the events in Six of Crows happen after the trilogy you might potentially be spoiled for what happens in the trilogy if you ever decide to read it, although I don't know how spoilery it is really since I have no idea what the Shadow and Bone trilogy is about.

Thanks for the explanation Hailee! I kinda heard the same thing from people. The magic system making more sense and stuff. I just really wasn't liking the characters in Shadow and Bone ^^; But I loved Language of Thorns....
But yeah, if you said you read it without reading her previous series...I'd love to give it a shot! When did you want to start reading? :D
Great! I had either tomorrow and Friday in mind but I'm open to other dates if you can't get hold of it that quickly.
Hailee wrote: "Great! I had either tomorrow and Friday in mind but I'm open to other dates if you can't get hold of it that quickly."Let's shoot for Friday then :D I have a copy at home so we should be good there. Did you want to request a thread?
Katie wrote: "Let's shoot for Friday then :D I have a copy at home so we should be good there. Did you want to request a thread?"Perfect. Yes I've just requested it :-)

I might jump in on some of this :) An Oathbreaker re-read almost for certain!

I mean, you already decided to read it, but I completely agree with Hailee :) I've read the Six of Crowns duology first and only read the Shadow and Bone series afterwards. I see why you maybe should read it the other way around, but I wasn't confused and I don't even think it spoils the Shadow and Bone series too bad.
If you plan to read King of Scars sometime, I would suggest to read both series tho.
Plus, I wasn't much into the main characters of Shadow and Bine eigher, but after getting to know the world through Six if Crows, it made me like the trilogy more :)

@Anni Thanks for the advice on Six of Crows. :D Maybe I will go back and try the first series after I read this duology. ^~^

I'd like to join in on the potential Starsight BR in March if it ends up happening. I read Skyward last month and it was wonderful.

I've ordered my copy of A Brightness Long Ago. It should arrive in a day or two, so would anyone like to do a buddy read? (I'm not anticipating reading it before April.)
Hey guys. Would anyone be interested I doing a reread of the 3 stormlight books before the rhythm of war comes out?
