Six of Crows has the same combination of adventure, danger, and humor that I loved in The Lies of Lock Lamora. I appreciated the lack of YA romance drama as well. It plays out subtly in the background while the big heist takes center stage. The plot was tight and fast paced without sacrificing character development. This one truly crosses age and gender boundaries and I feel sorry that the YA label may mean some who would love it may never read it.
