MEDIA REVIEWS
'A full-throttle adventure... crackling dialogue and sumptuous description. Bardugo dives deep into this world... If you're not careful, it'll steal all your time.' - The New York Times
'Ocean's Eleven set in a Game of Thrones-esque world ... The result is a pacey read with electric prose and well-drawn characters.' - The Independent
'Cracking page-turner with a multi-ethnic band of misfits with differing sexual orientations who satisfyingly, believably jell into a famil.' - Kirkus
'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
'Fast, thrilling heist fantasy, boasting a brilliant new cast of characters.' - The Metro
'A twisty and elegantly crafted masterpiece that thrilled me from beginning to end.' - Holly Black
