Phenomenal. I have heard so many good things about these books, and I just never gave them much notice until Six of Crows came out. The hype is well deserved. Bardugo has taken some fascinating folklore and has taken it to new and amazing heights. The characters are what really push this story along though, no matter what side of the events they end up on, every character is intriguing and so very real. I couldn't help but cheer them all on at least a little.
