Six of Crows

Actual Rating: 3.5

This one is so hard for me because I was so excited to read it and it's been hyped up so much.

But bruh. This bad boy is so freaking slow. I didn't think it picked up until roughly 100-150 pages from the end and it is just way too long for that to be the case. I felt like the entire third of the book was spent introducing the characters and that was just a bit unnecessary.

With that said, the ending was great and single-handedly moved my rating up from 3 stars to 4!

The characters were interesting but I can't say I love them (my heart already belongs to Nikolai Lantsov oops). Does that mean I am not eager for the sequel? Haha. No. Of course I am eager and dying to get my hands on it in the near future.

Overall, I sadly think this book falls into the category of “books 16-year-old Hailey would have loved but simply seem okay now”. But it was still a good read and I'm glad I finally committed to it.
