Game of Thrones meets Ocean's Eleven in this brand new fantasy epic from the #1 New York Timesbestselling author of Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising, Leigh Bardugo. As gripping, sweeping and memorable as the Grisha trilogy, Six of Crows will be perfect for fans of George R. R. Martin, Laini Taylor and Kristin Cashore, and will take Leigh's fans back into the world they know and love. Criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams - but he can't pull it off alone. A convict with a thirst for revenge. A sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager. A runaway with a privileged past. A spy known as the Wraith. A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums. A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz's crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction - if they don't kill each other first.
Soooo good!! It's funny how these things work out - I DNF'd after ~130 pages the first time, but this time I loved it! It was very Mistborn-esque.

First read (June 2015)
DNF'ing for now. I doubt I'll pick it back up again, but I don't want to officially write it off completely.
I got like 150 pages in and just wasn't feeling it. It wasn't a bad book, but I couldn't click with it. There was no attachment, I didn't feel super invested, and I just had no desire to keep reading.
