Jian wrote: "Is there set pages or is it a free read?"Super good question! When exactly should we start?
I just got the book yesterday... Can't wait to start reading it.
Hi, everyone! I haven't read the book yet and this looks like a wonderful opportunity to do it!Jian wrote: "Is there set pages or is it a free read?"
Good question!
I also feel like there will be a lot of perspectives...Or is it only one?
Maryanne wrote: "I also feel like there will be a lot of perspectives...Or is it only one?"
I think there are several perspectives or POVs.
What is your favorite part of the book?
@SammyI don't always like so many perspectives, it confuses me so much.
Hopefully this will be good. Her other books were so amazing.
I'm aiming for about 3 to 4 chapters a day. :-)

Yayayay! 9/12 has arrived and we can finally get to talking about Six of Crows. We get to revisit (or meet for the first time) our favorite criminals (Kaz!), couples, and breath stealing moments. We hope you're as excited as we are to get the discussion rolling! :D
We'll be expressing our reactions and excitement every day and posting official discussion questions as we go along.
September 12: Part One: Shadow Business
September 14: Part Two: Servant & Lever
September 16: Part Three: Heartsick
September 19: Part Four: The Trick to Falling
September 21: Part Five: The Ice Does Not Forgive
September 23: Part Six: Proper Thieves
Please feel free to post your reactions as you read along outside of the questions, but make sure to keep anything that's ahead of the discussion schedule as ~SPOILERS~ (character deaths, twists, doom and destruction, that sort of thing!)
Without further ado, here are the first set of questions:
Part One: Shadow Business Discussion
-What was the moment you became absolutely hooked?
-Would you have accepted Van Eck's proposition? What would tempt you to take such a risky job?
-Is Kaz a sympathetic character?
I would not have accepted the quest. I think Kaz can be a sympathetic character depending on what part of the book you are at. I got hooked on the second chapter and when I realized the book was by the same author of the Grisha Trilogy.
@Jian That's good to hear, I like when you're hooked at the beginning...
[SPOILERS]
Do you guys think it was illogical to have brought Inej or to for them to at least alter her appearance? If you think about it they must have known that Heleen Van Houden (owner of the Menagerie) would be there who would be able to recognize Inej at least because she worked for her. Also even if she was disguised Heleen is used to having to recognize her by her voice from her time working for her and knows what she looks like now because of the meet up. I just thought of this. What do you guys think. Was it a bad idea for Kaz to bring Inej?

I think this was intentional, part of Kaz's plan. They needed a diamond (to cut through the glass) and they needed Inej caught by the guards so they can take her to the hallway where the tank was (where she met with Jesper and Wylan). She stole the diamond necklace from Heleen Van Houden and Heleen's statement that she is not part of her girls was a confirmation to the guards to take her in custody.
I was hooked from pretty much the moment I met Kaz and Inej and realized Joost was only a minor character.I would definitely not have accepted the request unless I was working with an army of Grisha soldiers (I'm only half joking)
I think Kaz is a very sympathetic character, but due to his hardships and the persona that it is necessary for such a wanted criminal to be feared, the side of him rarely ever shows. (Kaz don't kill me)

I can understand that point but it just seems that there could have been a better way.

I was going to participate in the read-along but I re-read it three weeks ago and don't really feel like reading it again. I'm probably going to participate in the conversation though, I can't resist talking about my children
1. I think I was hooked from the first scene at the Exchange. I love sneaky double agent-y things.2. I am not enough of a risk taker to take Van Eck's deal, as much as I would like to think I would.
3. Kaz is chaotic good, which is probably my favorite alignment. I think he's sympathetic, but it's definitely hard to tell from the first few chapters.
-I was hooked from the second chapter. The chapter featuring Joost, while important, wasn't really that fun to read. However from the moment I met Kaz and Inej I was in love-I have no idea if I'd accept Van Eck's proposition. I don't think I could ever imagine myself in this situation because if I were me, I'd be dead. To survive in the Barrel you have to become really screwed up and I think I'd just be a different person entirely
-it's really hard to sympathize with Kaz during the first section because of how he's portrayed, but later on as his past is revealed and his walls start coming down, it's a lot easier for the reader to feel sorry for him or even put themselves in his shoes
I was intrigued in the beginning but I don't really remember the point I was hooked. It just happened. :)
-I was hooked by how brilliantly the exchange was written. The cleverness of Kaz struck me right off and kept me invested to see what else he had in store- I'm not sure if I would accept Van Ecks offer but I can say is firmly consider if I was Kaz. He knows his crew is capable of.
- Kaz in the first section was sympathetic I believe. A boy of only 17 already holding so much responsibility and grief. Especially in the standards he hold himself, the way he beats back any and all emotion just gets me.
- I got hooked on the second chapter. - I don't really know if I would accept the deal. Only if I was really desperate and I have a kickass team like in soc behind my back and I know we can handle it then I would've accept it. But if not then no.
- Only because of his past and the things he had gone through made Kaz look sympethatic.
Well, it's really quite simple. I just got hooked at the exact moment when my fangirl instincts clicked and sought out the potential ship. Kaz X Inej.....Okay, time for the serious talk. I was immediately drawn to Kaz's character since he really resembles Leigh Bardugo's other character, the Darkling. I especially love these kinds of characters who have a dark past and develop as the story progresses. Their three-dimensional personalities keep me intrigued just like a real friend would,
Anyway, I would continue to update...But I really need to study for my Biology test. (Procrastination Problems)
I was hooked, I think, from the very first line. It was just so bizarre I had to keep reading.I don't think I would accept the quest. It sounded too dangerous with too many moving parts, there would be a huge chance of things going wrong and I would not want to risk that.
Kaz is definitely a sympathetic character, although he is pretty prickly in the beginning. Still, there's a charm there. You just can't help but to admire a criminal that cunning.
-The moment when I became absolutely hooked was the scene where we got to see the gang in action for the first time. The way Kaz acted and then that twist had me needing to read more. -I might have if I had the skills and a kickass team. Maybe the money but if I didn't have a team or anything to help me then no way.
-I never thought Kaz was even capable of being sympathetic but then I saw the way he acted toward Inej (at times when he thought no was looking) and I knew his heart wasn't completely made of stone.
I was hooked in the first Inej chapter. I just thought she was so cool. And of course Kaz intrigued me and I wanted to learn more about him.

Yeah I agree. It was Kaz Brekker doing what he does...being reckless and getting results haha

I love Kaz! He waas a possible book boyfriend until I met Rhysand from ACOMAF :p
Honestly, I was hooked in the first conversation of Inej and Kaz. I just love them too much.

love this book so much it's currently my favorite....I haven't had much time to sit down and read so I have been listening to the audio book and I love how it's set up...I just can not get enough of this amazing book

YES, don't you love a morally complicated character?! Don't they make you feel conflicted in the best?
Maryanne wrote: "@SammyI don't always like so many perspectives, it confuses me so much.

I have the problem that I do not like all the characters, so sometimes when one character I dislike gets a POV, I can't help but get bored and strugle to read past it.
-What was the moment you became absolutely hooked?
Inej and Kaz first conversation in chapter 2!
-Would you have accepted Van Eck's proposition? What would tempt you to take such a risky job?
I, contrary to Kaz, I'm a sort of a patriot, so I would have done it just for saving the world, I guess. *Insert Capitan America here(?*
-Is Kaz a sympathetic character?
Kaz? What Kaz? Oh, do you mean my hubs Kaz with his awesome comments and his badass actitud? Yes, he is a sympathetic character indeed. I just know there is so much more about himself than that, and it justmake me want to know everything about him. He just got me by the end of chapter 4. So I just know deep down he's sweet.

I was thinking something similar, and it's that morally complicated characters are the best and my favorite, so that's why I like Kaz so much I think.
From my dead hubs The Darkling to my new hubs Kaz lol.
