Six of Crows

(25/02/23) I am usually not a fan of YA fantasy (or YA in general) but this duology is the cream of the crop. Such pure fast-paced fun with a colourful cast of characters. Magic and intrigue and heists! This is a great palette cleanser in between denser fantasy books.

As I get older (I was fifteen/sixteen when the first book released and am twenty-four during this particular reread) I'm agreeing more and more with the TV show's decision to age everyone up by about ten years because there's absolutely not a chance these characters are sixteen. The classic game of thrones problem and solution.
