\u00a0Six of Crows, ah. I was expected to be taken to another realm after hearing so much about this book. But, alas, my friends, the hoopla was just as disappointing as the book itself.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Let’s get started with the characters, shall we?. They’re all teenagers, which makes little sense given the context of the story. They don’t act like teenagers, and their ages aren’t consistent with the plot. I couldn’t imagine them as teenagers, so I pretended they were all in their 20s. Everything made more sense, and I couldn’t think of any other reason to put them in their teens except to appeal to the YA population. And, let’s be honest, who wants to read about teenagers when they can read about ruggedly attractive 20-year-olds?<\/p>\n

The characters themselves are very cliche, particularly Kaz, who is simply an uncharismatic Gary Stu, are pretty formulaic. And, despite spending a significant amount of time on the characters’ backstories, they remain underdeveloped. Except for Nina, I didn’t care about any of them. Her friendship with Mathias is one of the book’s highlights.<\/p>\n

Now, let’s talk about the main storyline. It follows the characters as they attempt an impossible theft and attempt to rescue someone from a fortified institution. Doesn’t that seem exciting? Wrong. The pace is quite slow, and the plot alternates between the past and the present. This has already been done, but much better in other works. And the heist itself is plain bad. Imagine if Michael Bay directed heist films like Ocean’s Eleven. Bardugo obviously determined that subtlety was for wimps and that a true robbery should include explosions, battles, and alarms.<\/p>\n

\n

Now, you may be thinking, “Wow, this guy really hated this book. Why didn’t he give it one star?” Well, my dear friends, I did have some fun with this book. It’s the kind of fun you have with a summer blockbuster movie. And I may even read the sequel. But if you’re looking for a good fantasy book about a group of thieves, read Among Thieves, Lies of Locke Lamora, or Riyria Revelations. And if you’re looking for a fantasy book about a band of misfits set upon an impossible task, then read Mistborn: The Final Empire. I would recommend Six of Crows if you have exhausted all of your better options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
