Six of Crows

Six ofCrows by Leigh Bardugo, 465 pages

This book was amazing.  I liked it better than Bardugo's original series and I liked that pretty well.  A group of thieves from Ketterdam are planning to break into the Winter Palace and release a prisoner.  This prisoner has the formula for a substance that enhances Grisha's powers incredibly, but also leaves them addicted and shortens their lives as much as it enhances their powers.   This group, led by Kaz, should never be able to accomplish their task.  The White Palace is impenetrable.  But, led by the promise of untold the wealth the group is willing to try.  Each person has their own reasons and though some of them seem to hate each other they somehow manage to work together.  I really enjoyed the character development and the action in this book.  It was really terrific and teens who like fantasy will enjoy it.
