Publisher's Summary

Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price - and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can't pull it off alone.

A convict with a thirst for revenge. A sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager. A runaway with a privileged past. A spy known as the Wraith. A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums. A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz's crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction - if they don't kill each other first.

Editorial Review

Six of Crows is a gripping story about a band of characters who must come together, despite their differences to pull off a nearly impossible heist, and save the world in the process.

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo is an exciting heist story and New York Times bestseller full of adventure and danger. Main character Kaz Brekker and a rag-tag team of dubious others, including Matthias Helper and Nina Zenik, are forced together for one epic quest, which just might alter the course of the future. This audiobook is the first of the Six of Crows series, which in turn is part of Bardugo’s Grishaverse (sometimes known as The Grisha Trilogy where the trilogy refers to three individual series). Those series include the Six of Crows duology, the Shadow and Bone trilogy, and the King of Scars duology.

Six of Crows is narrated by a full cast of voices including Jay Snyder, Roger Clark and Elizabeth Evans. Together they deliver a true audio performance that will sweep you away to a whole new world of possibilities and dangers. It is the perfect YA or older children’s book for fans of fantasy and adventure.

This gripping story will have you on the edge of your seat, on a wild ride of imaginative and awesome places, complex characters, and twisting plotlines. If you love a good epic adventure, look no further than this futuristic tale. With plenty of action, a band of misfit outcasts, and even a veiled love story, there is something for everyone to love. It is a fantasy epic made all the more real by its imperfect characters and the detailed worldbuilding Bardugo describes so well. One of the most praised young adult fantasy novels of recent years, Six of Crows is already a fan favourite among fantasy and adventure lovers. If you, too, love the Six of Crows duology, you continue the adventure with the next book in the series, Crooked Kingdom or enjoy other Grisha companion books like The Language of Thorns.

they grow on you

I really enjoyed having an inside and to the different characters minds and learn how they saw the world around them. This book also does a really good job at showing the deeper anxieties and fears one deals with even in adulthood.

The Dirty Half Dozen

A crew of misfits, gutter trash, criminals, recruited for a desperate mission: a prison break that had no hope of success. No wonder I immediately thought of the old Lee Marvin film. I should also have been thinking of “Ocean’s Eleven.”

But there are many things I didn’t expect:
How much I would like it.
The cliffhanger ending.
There are more stories set in this world. At least this book only has one sequel!
There’s a NETFLIX series!
Well, that refills my dance card!

Fantastic story, but dont love multiple narrators.

I'm not a fan of multiple narrators, but the story itself was great. Lots of twists, suspense and surprises.

Just fun

Compelling story whose characters suck you into another world. Characters are one-dimensional but this makes the story light and fun #Audible1

What an Enticing Grip!

I was enthralled the entire time.
The story? Indescribable.
The performance? Outstanding.
The only time I found it slow and not overly interesting was the first half of the very first chapter but then BAM! I couldn't stop listening to it, couldn't help but find ways to keep listening even when I had something else to be doing. Excited for the Crooked Kingdoms!

a great time, easy to like

Nuanced interesting characters in a well developed fantasy world written and performed with subtlety and skill? Yes to all these things. It's fast paced with lots of action and the relationships between characters do a good job developing them and giving information about the world without having to waste time stopping to over-explain something.

The main criticisms seem to be the age of the characters and having different narrators. I would disagree with both.
Sure, they are all super young but given the circumstances it makes sense these people would all be old beyond their years. And they're all well written enough I just can't understand why that in itself would break someone's immersion.

Each chapter is from a different point of view, and each point of view has a distinct narrator. I found the different narrators helpful for knowing who was speaking, and each narrator does a great job.

Some themes and circumstances in the book are quite dark. To me there were enough upbeat moments and glimpses of hope to temper that, but it is not a light or casual read per say.

Much more than I expected

I had this on my read list for a long time. Then of course came the Netflix show and my interest for the Crows grew. I was so intrigued by the characters and where they left of that I finally got around to reading this book. I was not disappointed. The first chapter wasn't my favorite and perhaps that's why at first I hadn't liked it. But after that, it was so good. And I barely stopped listening. The characters are complex and intriguing and very unique, when you think you know them, they surprise you. So excited to the read the second book and then see the Netflix show!
