I’m not a big fantasy reader, but I enjoyed this book and am now curious about Ninth House, which I started when it first came out and then put down a few chapters in.
Synopsis: “Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price—and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz 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…Kaz’s crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction—if they don’t kill each other first.”
There are two things I need to enjoy in fantasy: strong world-building and strong characters. SIX OF CROWS had both. I appreciated the banter between the characters, who are all very different and have different motivations. If you’re looking for a quick fantasy read to finish in October, this is it.
