Six of Crows

It's a very good book, I must say this. It's very well written and I love how Kaz always has a trick up his sleeve. I love Nina and Inej as these unusual best friends. I love how Wylan found a place where he was accepted. I LOVE how it was introduced that neither Wylan nor Jesper are straight (kudos to thy line cause it's both informative and flirty and I love it). I even loved the cliffhanger at the end. It also makes you care for bad people who're doing bad things. All but one, that is. And he's the reason it took me so long to finish it.

Matthias. I know we're supposed to think his whole thing with Nina is romantic but... it's not. I haven't read the previous Grisha books and I don't know if that's to blame for my opinion, but he is someone that has compared her to an animal. He has said she's not human. Even after getting to know her he's not sure Grisha are human, but he knows he wants her so I guess I'm supposed to be ok with it? But I'm really not. And Nina making excuses for him (he was raised by monsters, he doesn't know what he's doing etc) didn't help and made me dislike her character a bit even though she's my second favorite one. And that's sad.

Saddest part is I know they're going the whole romance way with them in the second book and I'm dreading it. I will still read it because I love everything else and I'm looking forward to see how the other relationships develop, but I'm not looking forward to having to read about this dude who did nothing to make me see he's not doing what he's doing cause he is hot for Nina and wants to bang her.
