Readers of the Round Table discussion

Discussion board for part one and two (pg 3-181) of the book!

If you haven't started the book at all or come as far, please be aware of spoilery discussions and/or comments!

Here are some questions to think about while reading and even when you've finished the number of pages.

1. We can't ignore the romance that comes with Leigh Bardugo's novels. Who is your OTP so far?
- I'm so excited to see where this story leads Inej and Kaz. I'm looking for a steamy romance between this two and even though the hints of their closeness has been subtle so far, there's no doubt in my mind that these two lovelies should be together. I'm serious.

2. Would you rather be a Tidemaker, Fabrikator, or Healer?
-Hard question. I'd love to be a healer. Helping people and being of good use in time of war somewhat brings me great joy. I'd also like to see skin stitch itself back together miraculously. Like... who wouldn't?

3. If Kaz asked you to be apart of the crew that infiltrated the Ice House, would you agree to help? Why or why not?
I think I would if I was getting paid THAT much. I'm thinking about the risks but also thinking about the adventure I'd have. And... just think about how many books you can buy with that money?? *seeing dollar signs*

More questions and such to come once I've gotten further in :D

#WESPER NEEDS TO HAPPEN

I'm just gonna go ahead and answer Alexandria's questions! :)

1. I love Wesper so so much! And it's quite obvious that Kaz and Inej is going to be a thing but I'm not a fan... I'd love to see Nina and Inej as a couple to be honest.

2. I think I'd liked to be a Tidemaker because I'm really afraid of water (oceans, lakes, rivers etc.) just because I can't control it, so yeah being a Tidemaker would kind of solve that problem!

3. Yes, yes, yes! Mainly because I love all of the people in crew so much I'd follow them anywhere haha. Also I feel like Kaz is one of those people who can fix anything, I really feel like he's someone you could trust even though he's selfish and rude.

OMG being a rebel ic. Yo you're so right! Inej and Nina's relationship is so freaking cute but I'd rather think of them as sisters.

That's also an actual valid reason for choosing Tidemaker! I'm so thrilled with these answers.

Let's also be honest that I would join Kaz's crew because I would want to be next to someone like Kaz all day. He's so swoon-worthy and UGHHH JUST MY OTP.

So I take it most people like this book so far? I'm kind of surprised, and really disappointed, that I had to DNF this about 100 pages in. It just wasn't working for me, at all. Anyone else having issues?

I was also considering to stop reading in the beginning, I thought the book was so slow and confusing. Maybe because I haven't read the Grisha-trilogy and I feel like it would have been easier to understand Six of Crows if I had. But after the first part it really picks up and I really enjoyed it :)

Jen: I finished it earlier today, and it was amazing. I agree with Ebba, though, it was a little slow-ish at the beginning, but it picked up at around the third or fourth chapter for me.

I'm so sorry that you didn't enjoy it :/

(Also, Kinej needs to happen. Like, yesterday)

Yes, when I was around page 60 I was considering stopping, because I felt like it still wasn't really going anywhere. Like you Ebba, I decided to push on. Unlike you, I felt that the book still wasn't going anywhere. I just found myself growing more and more frustrated. I stopped around page 110, I think.

I think that's the case with most fantasy books. There is so much introduction in the beginning of the book, especially the first of a large fantasy series. I think the author did well in capturing my attention by the second part. I enjoyed it!

YOO WERDD. I swear if I don't see Kaz and Inej together by the end of this book, I'm going to punch someone... hard. Wish for my OTP to live this time :D

Well I hope you all enjoy it and I'm definitely willing to give the next book a try!

(Not the sequel to Six of Crows. The next book the book club reads lol.)

I've just scrolled past all of your lovely discussions to avoid spoilers as I'm definitely not up to speed!
I've just finished part 1 but I just can't seem to get my teeth into it! I'm almost a 1/3 through and am beginning to consider just giving up on it! Do you guys think it gets
better or do you think I would have gotten into it by now to like it? Eeeek! Xx

i personally really got into the book at 160, and Bardugos books are generally just a shitload of introduction on the first part of the story, but i think its really worth it, one if my favorite books this year!

I think part 3-6 really makes up for the slow beginning! I feel like that's when all the interesting things start :) it's an amazing book when you're past part 1 & 2!

Ok I'll try to stick at it, so many people can't be wrong! X

Jordan: personally, I just can't give that much dedication to a book. Long introductions are just a huge turn off to me. I find that if I don't like the beginning of the book I'm not going to like the entire thing. Even if the book does pick up I can't see it getting significantly better to the point where it's worth sticking around. But that's just my opinion. If you stick with it, hope it picks up for you!

Jen, I feel the same. The books I read in my own time shouldn't feel like books I *have* to read! I really struggle with slow beginnings and books that aren't page turners! That being said I'm going to try and keep going, so many people can't be wrong - the star ratings on goodreads are amazing! It probably all boils down to me not being very good at DNFing books! Have you read the Grisha trilogy? I wonder if that might have made it easier (I haven't) X

Hello guys
I'm very slow. I've just read page 160. :)
I think I CAN'T LOVE the characters, especially Kaz.
How can I love him while his goal is just money. He is so rough and wild, Oh God, he blinded the eyes of his enemy, Oomen. I mean he could just kill him!

I've read the Grisha trilogy! Well only the first book. I don't feel that I was missing out on anything in Six of Crows. I feel like the only thing that might confusing if you didn't read the Grisha trilogy was the term Grisha. That was the only connection to the trilogy that was noticeable. I felt like Shadow and Bone has a slow start as well. That's always the case with most fantasy books!

Awww. But Kaz grows.. don't worry! And how about Nina or Matthias? Do you like selfless or loyal characters?

I'd really hoped that. So I'm glad Alexandria.
About Nina and Matthias, I still don't know what exactly happen between them. Therefore, I'll judge after that.
I love loyal characters. So I may love Inej.
