ReviewWell, I definitely didn't enjoy this as much as I had hoped, but it wasn't bad.

It's kind of hard for me to give a solid rating because my enjoyment varied so much. I was very tempted to put this down in the first half. It felt kind of boring, I would rate it 2 stars. The second half though? Actually had me pretty gripped. 4 or 5 stars would be more accurate.

So I'll go somewhere in the middle with 3 stars.

There were two things that mainly knocked off my enjoyment points. First of all, I didn't like the pacing. The story jumped right into the heist and stayed there the whole time. Maybe some people like this as it adds a constant tension, but in my opinion, it made everything move very slow. There was hardly any planning and the characters barely made any mistakes (at least nothing that couldn't be instantly fixed). There were times in the book that I forgot this heist is supposed to be incredibly risky and dangerous. I was never scared for the characters.

And that leads my second issue. I didn't care about the characters. Everyone was kind of boring. And also teenagers. Why were they literally children? It just made them too unrealistic for me to enjoy.

I do have an exception here for Nina though. I really liked her a lot. I felt like she was the easiest to connect to and genuinely enjoyable to read. Her POVs were my favourite.

The one thing I can't fault Six of Crows on is the setting. The world is wonderful and you cN tell it was well thought out. I am not great at visualising settings in books, but even I had a clear picture in my head while I was reading.

I can definitely see while people love this book. I think I would have loved it too if the pacing was different, but that's just my opinion. I'll probably get around to Crooked Kingdom at some point.
