Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Set, and written, before the Six of Crows duology. If you’re going to read this trilogy, read it first or not at all. It’s not so much that Six of Crows spoils you for plot (though it does just a little) but more that Six of Crows will spoil you for richness of characters and depth of plot. Shadow & Bone just feels lacking in comparison - a little too plain, far too cliche, a little empty on characters, and far too short. Six of Crows simply sets reader expectations too high - better to start here and work your way forward with the author’s experience level. I won’t be buying the rest of this trilogy, but rather waiting for the author to write new works.
