![]() This is a book that could have greatly benefited from some type of long form dictionary or glossary. Even after reading the first three books in the universe of this series (Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, and Ruin and Rising from the Gristha trilogy) the onslaught of terms and references can still be overwhelming and not an inviting situation. The first couple of chapters were hard to get through. It’s a real journey and a huge step forward for YA. I look at this book and feel there is so much that happened and so much to talk about. I dropped everything else I had been in the middle of reading at the time to commit full attention to Six of Crows at a certain point, knowing that I was wrapped up in it. It has the power to overshadow other decent but lesser books. This is one of those books where I put it down and feel like I just got back from somewhere. ![]() But these feel like small issues for what is otherwise a great book. The characters should have been older as well, I felt. For example, would have favored more conversation over wordy description. There are many things I think should have been done differently in this book. ![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve edited and pasted it below, and will end this with some more current notes on my feelings toward this title. This review was originally written February of 2019. ![]()
