Description

Enter the world of the Grishaverse andShadow and Bone, soon to be a Netflix original series! Read from the beginning with this beautiful deluxe collector’s edition of the first novel in the worldwide-bestselling Shadow and Bone Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. This edition features brand-new artwork, a hardcover slipcase with exclusive design, a ribbon pull, and […] The Severed Moon The heat of the incinerator wrapped around Inej like a living thing, a desert dragon in his den, hiding from the ice, waiting for her. She knew her body’s limits, and she knew she had no more to give. She’d made a bad wager. It was as simple as that. The autumn leaf might cling to its branch, but it was already dead. The only question was when it would fall. When she looked up at him, the expression on her face was a bleak map of loathing and fatigue. In it, he saw the shame that came with gratitude, and he knew that in this brief moment, she was his mirror. She didn’t want to owe him anything either.”

inej ghafa. the moment she said “i like it when men beg” i was sat. she could stab me and i’d take it happily because it’s her. she’s just so badass, fierce, loyal and deadly while at the same time so kind and compassionate, so silent, so ready to save people she cares about at the risk of her own life. Six of Crows is impossible to put down. Bardugo is a master at an ensemble cast, and it is a joy to see her wonderfully crafted characters come to life ... The fantastic plot is fast moving and full of twists and turns, but it is the fate of the characters that really draws the reader in. Bardugo has an incredible imagination and Six of Crows showcases her writing at its very best. * BOOKTRUST * and maybe i will just be me in this one, but i thought this was fantastic and after a bit of a slow and slightly confusing open, it turned into one of the most fun reading experiences i have had in a while. i LOVE heist stories, and this one is a particularly satisfying contribution to the genre. it takes place in the same world as the grisha series, but instead of a magical version of russia, this one opens in a similarly transformed version of holland, in a city called ketterdam. Kaz Brekker the MC everyone in this world/universe is in love with is the male version of Alina. Yeah kudos to you. He is also known as Dirtyhands *chokes on vomit and dies* There is not a single thing i like about him. NOT ONE THING. The entire point of having Kaz there is for the readers to drown themselves in romanticized idealizations lmao. And I want to ramble and gush incoherently about it all, especially with regards the character, but I can't think straight right now.

Join Kaz, Inej, Jesper, Nina, Matthias, and Wylan as they navigate the dangerous streets of Ketterdam for what is undoubtedly the greatest heist in Ketterdam history. This box set marks the beginning of our exciting collaboration with Leigh Bardugo, with the release of box sets for Shadow and Bone and King of Scars coming in the next year. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this stunning edition of the Six of Crows duology! Kaz tumbled through the dark. He was colder than he’d ever been. He thought of Inej’s hand on his cheek. His mind had gone jagged at the sensation, a riot of confusion. It had been terror and disgust and – in all of that clamour - desire, a wish that lingered still, the hope that she would touch him again.”And if Inej was kidnapped/whatever (i forget) at age fourteen and lived in a whore house for one year and now she is sixteen then SHE BECAME A SPY IN ONE YEAR AS IF CELAENA SARDOTHIEN BECOMING THE MOST FEARED ASSASSIN IN SIXTEEN YEARS WASN'T ENOUGH NOW WE HAVE INEJ AS A SPY, FULLY SKILLED AND FEARED IN ONE YEAR.

Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Together they might just be unstoppable - if they don't kill each other first. I am at loss for words. Leigh Bardugo set the standards very high with the Grisha Trilogy, and in Six of Crows she did not disappoint. If you're looking for resemblances between the Grisha and this book you will not find any, besides the fact that both series take place in the same world. Six of Crows is way darker, more mature and a little disturbing. And that's what makes it great.

Bardugo's world building is delightful. I didn't know that Shadow and Bone series shared the same world (which probably would've helped make an even more complete world), but it didn't feel like I'm missing out on anything. Everything's put in place using a seemingly simple but thoroughly enjoyable manner. It's the simple, yet quite impactful narrative that helps visualize everything beautifully. Well, damn, damn and more damns. I love it when books pretty much leave me too incoherent to write a comprehensive review. And this book just did that. I’m only, like, 17% joking. I have no idea how to review this book. I barely even knew how to read this book, due to the fact that it was so devastatingly cool and exciting and unique and addictive that it almost made me illiterate. and then the filler starts which we have to read for half the book until the real heist begins which is less of a heist and more of a "explosions, fights and alarms ringing." I certainly recommend it for people who like the aspect of fictional heists and a family which may not be bound by "blood" but found themselves together and will certainly grow closer together.

I can’t even put into words how much Leigh It’s been a long time coming and I’m so happy to have reread it. My heart feels full and content and there’s no better mark and feeling a book can leave you with but that. Now that I got this off my chest I’m finally able to write the actual review and since you all know me you also know what to expect. ;-) I LIKE THREE OF THOSE CHARACTERS. THREE!! OUT OF SIX!!! To anyone else that may sound like a fairly low number. You know. Fifty percent. A failing grade. But I’ve always been a glass-half-full kind of person, and by “always” I mean “exclusively in this exact scenario for the sake of my argument.” God that woman is so fierce and has the heart of a lion!!! Nina is so compassionate and lovely and I immediately loved her for it! She’s never afraid to say what she’s thinking and she’s loyal to a fault. I just adored her for being so passionate and I was so sad when Matthias rejected her at the beginning. Not that this would have had any visible impact on her, after all she still had a sharp tongue and made sure to use it. *lol* ;-P Judging by what I read about this world to be one of the Grisha isn’t easy, but Nina nevertheless always somehow managed to stand her ground!The Ice Court is the most highly protected place in Fjerda, and Kaz won't be able to gatecrash it alone. He needs a crew. She’d laughed, and if he could have bottled the sound and got drunk on it every night, he would have.
