Re-read: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
Reread 2021: It seems like re-reading this every two years is becoming a tradition... anyway this gets better each and every time This is truly my perfect book.

So, i won't be rating this book, as I feel like that would only serve as an injustice. Overall, this is an incredibly important story, just one that I personally found it difficult to get through.

the disappointment i feel is palpable. i wanted to love this so badly, hence why i read so far into it. and while the concept is really cool and i love the mc, i felt no emotional connection to the story.
i felt like the entire book was just discussing opposing views on ethics and philosophy, and while these ideas were interesting, instead of being woven
