Six of Crows

Don't come at me: I didn't love it.
But I didn't hate it, either. At the end of the day, if you give me an action-packed novel with a trope I love, I will always enjoy it. But I've been told by a million people to read it, and I didn't fall in love with it right off the bat.
But what I appreciated about this book is how much it made me want to read the sequel. This duology bleeds into the next book more flawlessly than I've ever seen. One of the reasons it made me bitter was the lack of character growth, but there were hints of it taking place further in the plot.
I ended up tolerating even the most annoying characters in the end, and I was itching to read the next book. It was a good start.
