Six of Crows

by Leigh Bardugo

Our rating

Spice 0/5 Darkness 3/5

Spice: none. Darkness: dark.

Kaz Brekker and five other teenage criminals take a job breaking a prisoner out of the most secure fortress in the world. Heist structure, rotating narrators, and every single one of them is carrying something awful. Skip Shadow and Bone if you want, this stands alone fine.
