Reading The Fragile Threads Of Power And It's Honestly So Fun Because Im Like Where's Is My Man Kell

Reading the fragile threads of power and it's honestly so fun because im like where's is my man Kell and then i know about him through someone else's pov and he's just like frowning and sighing and rolling his eyes or just dropping the most iconic line and im like "yep, that's my man, that's the love of my life, the myth, the legend"

It is the best book ever written and no one can convince me otherwise

Does anyone else just sit and think about the fact that Six of Crows is literally the perfect book?

Like, we have a morally grey character who's actually morally grey and has a real reason to push people away other than "once I killed someone in self defense, so I'm a terrible person and we can't be together." And every other character has a super fleshed out backstory as well, including real world problems that don't usually get talked about in fantasy books.

There's just as heavy an emphasis on platonic love as romantic love, instead of "I can fix him", it's "he can fix himself", there's a gay couple that's actually happy and not suffering every five pages, and all of the gay characters have personality traits outside of the fact that they're gay.

And speaking of the romance, it's so not rushed or sexualized. No one even kisses in the first book, but it's still so obvious how much they love each other. Each couple has such a different dynamic, and the way their pasts mirror each other? Perfection. (I also firmly believe that Kanej is the best couple in all of YA prove me wrong)

And then the diversity??? 3/7 of the lead characters are POCs, 4/7 are queer, 3 have disabilities, 2 have addictions, 2 have PTSD, 2 are religious, one was raised in a cult, and it's not one of those books that has diverse characters just for the sake of being diverse!

The plot is so unique, especially among fantasy books, and despite the fact that there's so many moving parts, there is not a single plot hole. And the CK auction scene will forever be one of the best end of series climaxes I have ever read.

So basically I don't get why other authors even try anymore cause I'm sorry but no matter how great their books are, it's not going to be Six of Crows.

I think about this daily I swear

not a week goes by where I don’t think about how the six of crows adaptation managed to find six actors who looked, embodied, AND GENUINELY CARED about their characters only for the show to get canceled before they could properly execute the ice court heist :( aka the oceans 11 of fantasy heists…

Kaz Brekker and Nikolai Lantsov are two sides of the same coin

So I just finished fourth wing, and honestly I think it’s really good (I might be biased because I’ve loved dragons ever since I was a kid). Everything about the world is so immersive and mesmerising, each character is lovable in their own way, the slow burn enemies to lovers is *chef’s kiss*, and the dragons are so amazing it makes me feel like a little kid again, sure that there’s magic is this world (did u get the reference??). Anyway, 100% recommend!!

I'd like to imagine that Jeeves and Melinda have little tea parties, and Melinda says "Any news about Miss Anya? I think it's adorable how much Damian likes her. Has he admitted it yet?" And Jeeves tells her everything he knows and they both laugh about it.
