Six of Crows is an amazing book about a hilarious but dangerous adventure of six people who could not be more different than the other.

REVIEW
Six teenagers trying to pull of an impossible heist to achieve their own definition of freedom.
The story is a perfect mix of undying loyalty, friendship, overcoming prejudice and fighting for the right thing. Each character has their own motive for the heist but when it matters none is afraid to back the others.
The comfort each character radiates is what makes me love this book. With Kaz's never ending sass, Inej's kindness, Jesper's idiocy and jokes, Wylan's unexpected bravery and intelligence, Nina's never ending love for food and Matthias's grumpiness this books hold your attention on every single page.
The book inspires you to fight against all odds and win (by a breath). It teaches you to overcome your fears (how much ever time it takes).
Each line, each word, holds you in such a trance that you cannot put the book down. Each twist and turns makes you hold your breadth. You feel like you are fighting and joking alongside the Crows.
Bonus, each character has amazingly good looks ;)
