Six of Crows

This was a refreshing shift from her earlier work, offering a heist-driven narrative that's thrilling and well-crafted. Unlike the melodrama of Shadow and Bone, this novel focuses on action and intrigue, wrapped around a diverse cast of characters. The heist is the star, but the characters, each with their own depth and quirks, help bring the story to life. It's a fast-paced ride with enough twists to keep you engaged, though it avoids veering into shocking plot twists. It's a compact, yet satisfying adventure.
