Six Of Crows

book cover


This is a young adult fantasy book that revolves around a group of six “friends” that go on a heist. I loved this book! Five out of five stars! It was so good. It is a little confusing because the book is written assuming the reader knows background of the world, however I did not read the Shadow and Bone trilogy before this. However, it is not difficult to catch on with the help of google and reading on. The author did a really good job, in my opinion, writing the characters and showing their growth and development. It’s also very nice how the author writes the friendships and relationships. I love the characters and feel the emotion. Beautifully written! Definitely recommend to fantasy fanatics.

It took a while to get into this book and I didn’t like any of the characters but it was an interesting look at reality shows and the people that go on them

A Very Bad Thing

I only picked this book because it met the challenge and the description sounded promising. I was wrong. The (biggest) twist was predictable from about the 5th chapter. When I first figured it out I was not sure if the author thought their readers were morons and would not see it, or if it was meant to be the biggest red herring ever (it wasn’t). Even for a mystery/thriller there was excessive and pointless death. If I could provide better advice, it would be to skip the epilogue. It was totally unnecessary and added plot lines at the bitter end that contribute nothing to the overall story, and actively takes away from it simultaneously. That is after seeing that the book was already 100 pages too long.

I enjoyed this book, which tells the story of 4 well known fairy tale characters when they are around 50 years old. I figured out who 2 of the characters were right away, but took longer to be sure of the other 2. This book takes a strong stand for women's rights. Although I like strong female characters, I felt it was out of place for time period to have so many women fighting for their rights. This is the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Six Days In Bombay

A very well written book. As a recent emigrant out of India, I long to feel the Indian air around me. This book did just that! Took me back into those slim and slender streets, the overly dense colonies, and the ever warm civilizations. Furthermore to the trip back home, it also helped me explore some major European cities via its text explanations... The narrative is very gripping and engaging. Sonaz story and the way her feelings and thoughts have been expressed are not just true like but equally captivating. A lot of effort and research has been put into this book. Such great character building and lovely scene setting in the beginning and the novel reaches a NECT level when it turns from just fiction to mystery... Loved every bit of it...
