Six of Crows

Leigh Bardugo’s fantasy heist follows six dangerous outcasts, a thief, a spy, a sharpshooter, and more, recruited for an impossible break-in that could make them rich or get them killed. Set in a gritty, canal-laced city of crime and magic, it’s fast, twisty, and driven by a sharply drawn ensemble. A modern young-adult favourite that reads like a fantasy Ocean’s Eleven.
