great. I am excited! I have been wanted to start this book, but I have been procrastinating.
I've read SOC. I'd love to join this fantastic discussion.
So I’ve already read this book so I think I’ll just talk about it with u guys as u read it:)
Hii, I would love to join! I've been procrastinating with this book for a few days, can't wait to get back into it :)

I just started reading the book, but I am a bit confused. do people have powers in this world?
No Spoilers....Leigh Bardugo had written Grisha trilogy followed by Six of Crows. Though Six of crows is not a sequel to the Grisha trilogy, you can get confused and there are some characters and certain things that you can't understand If you didn't read Grisha trilogy. You can read SOC without any knowledge of Grisha trilogy, but it is better to read the trilogy first. (It's like watching infinity war and Endgame without any knowledge of prior Marvel movies.)
Just a heads up, there is little world building and magic system explaining in this book, so you guys might find t helpful to do s search on it.
Mod
yeah, I think Leigh might have a guide won her website about the different types of magic and stuff but idk. I personally disliked this book, so I can’t say I put in an effort trying to find more information on it.
Many people don't read Grisha trilogy because the 2nd and 3rd books of the trilogy are not good (my opinion). Don't read Grisha trilogy after SOC as there are many spoilers of the trilogy in SOC, and you will get disappointed for sure. If you want to read the latest books of Leigh Bardugo the you must read trilogy as they are direct sequels to the trilogy. However, if you just want to read SOC then you can simply read the synopsis of the trilogy.

Here are a few links I found. Maybe you'll find it helpful!

There are 2-3 big spoilers in the second link. Just skim the page but don't perform a deep dive.
Mod
Oh okay. Thanks! ;)

In my opinion, SOC is good but overhyped. It's not as good as everyone raved.
Mod
I personally love both Soc and CK but agree that it was overhyped. There are definitely way better books of the kimd
Mod
I begun to like Matthias in CK, he was a total douchebag for the better part of SoC.But my liking for him didn't last long, unfortunately (trying to avoid spoilers here)
I didn't liked Nina and Matthias, but loved Kaz and Wylan. CK is far better than SOC, in my opinion.
Mod
I totally agree with Mahi. CK is way better and it gets right into the plot, much unlike SoC, where we got to the actual heist somewhere after the middle of the book. You should read it anyways, just to form an opinion for yourself. That's what I always do when I see many mixed reviews, it's the best way to know exactly what a book's actually like
