What did you think of Children of Blood and Bone? Six of Crows? And all the others- you haven't rated them!

I really enjoyed Children of Blood and Bone, I really like YA fantasy to start with. I was a little bummed over the ending, but it was an enjoyable, relatively quick read and it’s set up to be a series so there will be more to come. I would give it 4.25 stars. I haven’t read six of crows yet!
