Hey, everyone! Hope you don't mind me hopping in on this one. I wasn't sure I would be able to get to this book this month but I finished it yesterday.

It felt like a very fast read and I really enjoyed it. I was hoping to find a really good YA series to get hooked on after finishing Sarah J. Maas' Throne of Glass series so I actually picked this up awhile ago but never got to it. Also wasn't sure if I needed to read Shadow and Bone first in order to get what was going on.

How about y'all? Have you read Shadow and Bone/do you think it should be read first or do you think the Six of Crows duology stands on its own?

Have to say that I think Bardugo writes massively complicated relationships very well without them taking over too much of the storyline and without instalove breaking out all over the place. Feel like she was able to write relationships that made sense, given her characters' backstories and involvement with each other, while still being able to sketch a mature idea of what love is.

I love the quote... (view spoiler)[

“Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.”

(hide spoiler)]

for pretty much that reason. I think there are a lot of YA books out there that would have stopped at the first part of that quote and had plenty of readers swooning a bit. But it's the latter part that provides the mature aspect, what you learn about love over time.

I'm interested, just picked up the next book actually. I'm playing catch up on a book from last month but I think I'll probably pick it up next.

[Ariel]

Thanks, Kristin! :)

This was such a beautiful book. I got the collector's edition as a gift. The sense of cunning and adventure in this book kept me excited throughout. I love how the romance is not the central plot but just comes and goes like it's teasing you.
