“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.”
This is one of my favorite quotes from Leigh Bardugo’s new epic fantasy novel Six of Crows. This story chronicles six clever felons who together, try to succeed in one near impossible heist – rescue a valuable inmate from the world’s most well-guarded prison.
Set in the world of “Grisha,” who are gifted creatures enslaved after a civil war, the plot tackles issues of battle, love, and sacrifice that will have you finishing the book in one sitting. Bardugo’s writing left me laughing one moment and then crying the next. This is one book that truly does keep you on the edge of your seat. Until next time, keep on reading!
