Praise for Crooked Kingdom: A delicious blend of
masterfully executed elements... Bardugo outdoes herself in this
exhilarating follow-up, and series fans will have their eyes glued
to every page." --Booklist, starred review
Un-put-down-able excitement from beginning to end --Kirkus
Reviews, starred review Bardugo's ingenious plotting
that characterized Crows is again on full display, and the
backstories, loyalties, flaws, and romantic alliances....are richly
developed." --The Bulletin, starred review Praise for Six
of Crows: This has all the right elements to keep readers
enthralled: a cunning leader with a plan for every occasion,
nigh-impossible odds, an entertainingly combative team of skilled
misfits, a twisty plot, and a nerve-wracking cliffhanger.
--Publishers Weekly, starred review Cracking
page-turner with a multi ethnic band of misfits with differing
sexual orientations who satisfyingly, believably jell into a
family. --Kirkus Reviews, starred review Set in a
world that will be familiar to fans of the author, this book can be
fully enjoyed without having read any previous title. . . . This is
an easy choice for teens who enjoyed The Grisha Trilogy,
Diviners, or any of the Shadowhunter books. --VOYA,
starred review The whirlwind pace, along with some witty
banter, burgeoning romance, and high-stakes action, makes this
series opener a surefire crowd-pleaser. --Booklist "Six of
Crows is a twisty and elegantly crafted masterpiece that thrilled
me from the beginning to end." --New York Times-bestselling
author Holly Black "Six of Crows [is] one of those
all-too-rare, unputdownable books that keeps your eyes glued to the
page and your brain scrambling to figure out what's going to happen
next." --Michael Dante DiMartino, co-creator of Avatar: The Last
Airbender and The Legend of Korra "There's conflict
between morality and amorality and an appetite for sometimes
grimace-inducing violence that recalls the Game of Thrones series.
But for every bloody exchange there are pages of crackling dialogue
and sumptuous description. Bardugo dives deep into this world, with
full color and sound. If you're not careful, it'll steal all your
time." --The New York Times Book Review
