![]() That said, none of them is really a bad person. They’re criminals, street thugs who are willing to do whatever it takes to survive (and make a living). There are many characters in Six of Crows, and none of them are “nice” people. ![]() But he’ll need his friends to pull it off, and even then, the outcome is hazy. Kaz can’t resist the allure of the heist, nor the money that’s promised when he succeeds. Because of this, Kaz isn’t surprised when a man with a mission comes calling, looking to Kaz to do the impossible. Kaz Brekker has made a name for himself and his gang, the Dregs, on the streets of Ketterdam through his smarts, his creativity, and his ruthlessness. This is a completely new series, yes, but since it takes place in the same world, it’s nice to have some sense of connection. I also like how there’s a nod to the Grisha Trilogy covers. It’s understated, yet intriguing, and the bird’s wings “creating” the buildings out of the sky is a gorgeous design choice. This cover isn’t splashy or in your face, but in this case, that’s a good thing. ![]() ![]() ![]() Relationship Status: Ready to Join the Crew ![]()
