Emily Parker, 52, Berlin
Ich bin mit Passivrauch aufgewachsen, was bei mir zu chronischem Husten und kleinen Flecken auf der Lunge gefĆ¼hrt hat. Da ich vor intensiveren MaĆnahmen eine natĆ¼rliche Option ausprobieren wollte, begann ich mit der Anwendung des CareBreezeĀ® 6-in-1 KrƤuter-Propolis Lungenreinigungsspray. Ein kurzer SprĆ¼hstoĆ in jedes Nasenloch morgens und abends hat alles verƤndert. Der KrƤuternebel wirkt beruhigend, und innerhalb weniger Wochen fĆ¼hlte sich meine Brust unglaublich leicht an und mein Husten hƶrte fast vollstƤndig auf. Bei meiner Kontrolluntersuchung nach drei Monaten war mein Arzt erstaunt zu sehen, dass sich meine Lungenbilder deutlich verbessert hatten. Wenn Sie unter den Auswirkungen von Rauch oder Umweltverschmutzung leiden und wieder frei atmen mƶchten, kann ich es nur wƤrmstens empfehlen!
Jack Thompson, 67, MĆ¼nchen
Ich lebe nun seit etwa 11 oder 12 Jahren mit COPD, hauptsƤchlich Emphysem. Es begann mit Atemnot, dann kamen stƤndiger Husten und zƤher Schleim dazu. Die Morgen waren immer am schwierigsten, und manche Tage fĆ¼hlten sich Ć¼berwƤltigend an. Meine Frau baut sogar Kƶnigskerze in unserem kleinen Garten an, und obwohl die frischen BlƤtter etwas geholfen haben, war es nie ganz ausreichend.
Dann entdeckte ich das CareBreezeĀ® 6-in-1 KrƤuter-Propolis Lungenreinigungsspray. Ich begann, morgens und abends jeweils einen kurzen SprĆ¼hstoĆ in jedes Nasenloch zu verwenden. Der feine Nebel gelangt direkt in die Atemwege, und das Einatmen dieses natĆ¼rlichen KrƤuter- und Propolisdufts wirkte sofort beruhigend. Innerhalb von zwei Wochen bemerkte ich einen echten Unterschied ā das EngegefĆ¼hl in meiner Brust lieĆ nach, ich musste nicht mehr so stark nach Luft ringen, und die Morgen fĆ¼hlten sich nicht mehr wie ein Albtraum an.
Nach etwa einem Monat konnte ich lƤnger gehen, ohne auĆer Atem zu geraten, und begann sogar wieder Dinge zu tun, von denen ich dachte, sie wƤren fĆ¼r immer verloren ā meinen Enkel zum Baseballplatz bringen, mit dem Hund spazieren gehen und wieder im Garten arbeiten. Meine Frau und ich sind unglaublich dankbar. Wenn ich jemandem mit COPD einen Rat geben dĆ¼rfte, dann wƤre es, mit dem Rauchen aufzuhƶren, wenn mƶglich, und natĆ¼rliche UnterstĆ¼tzung nicht zu unterschƤtzen. Dieses CareBreeze Spray hat meinen Alltag und meine Atmung wirklich verbessert.
Sophie Williams, 51, Hamburg
Ćber ein Jahr lang litt ich unter schweren Long-COVID-Symptomen wie Gehirnnebel und starken Brustschmerzen, was mich vƶllig hoffnungslos machte ā besonders als die Ćrzte mir nur sagten, ich solle āmich ausruhenā. Auf der Suche nach natĆ¼rlicher Linderung begann ich mit der Anwendung des CareBreezeĀ® 6-in-1 KrƤuter-Propolis Lungenreinigungsspray, wobei ich morgens und abends jeweils einen kurzen SprĆ¼hstoĆ in jedes Nasenloch gab. Der beruhigende KrƤuternebel wirkte sofort, und bereits nach nur einer Woche begann sich das starke EngegefĆ¼hl in meiner Brust deutlich zu lƶsen. Nach zwei Monaten konsequenter tƤglicher Anwendung bestƤtigte mein Arzt erstaunt, dass die zuvor in meinen Lungenaufnahmen sichtbaren AuffƤlligkeiten vollstƤndig verschwunden waren; ich kann dieses Spray jedem wƤrmstens empfehlen, der wieder entspannt atmen und sein Leben zurĆ¼ckgewinnen mƶchte!
Leiden Sie unter diesen Problemen?
Erkrankungen des Atmungssystems, darunter Asthma, Allergien und LungenentzĆ¼ndung, werden durch unsere moderne Umwelt leicht ausgelƶst. Heute sind unsere Lungen stƤndig Angriffen ausgesetzt ā nicht nur durch direktes Rauchen oder gewƶhnlichen Staub, sondern auch durch unvermeidbare versteckte Gefahren: stƤdtischer Smog, starke Fahrzeugabgase, langfristiges Einatmen von KochdƤmpfen, Tierhaare und chemische Stoffe in InnenrƤumen. Leider ignorieren viele Menschen diese tƤgliche Belastung, wodurch sich ein gefƤhrlicher Mix aus unsichtbaren Toxinen, RuĆ und Ćlpartikeln unbemerkt ansammelt und die Gesundheit der Atemwege mit der Zeit erheblich schƤdigt.
Wenn sich diese tƤglichen Schadstoffe in der Luftrƶhre und den Lungen festsetzen, reagiert der Kƶrper mit einem Abwehrmechanismus und produziert FlĆ¼ssigkeiten, die zƤhen, klebrigen Schleim (Auswurf) bilden. Wenn diese toxische Ansammlung aus Schleim und Fremdpartikeln nicht effektiv aus dem Kƶrper entfernt wird, fĆ¼hrt dies zu schweren chronischen Atemwegserkrankungen ā und kann in extremen FƤllen sogar lebensbedrohlich werden. Durch eine gezielte, grĆ¼ndliche Reinigung und Regeneration der Atemwege kƶnnen diese Umweltbelastungen jedoch effektiv reduziert und eine gesunde Atmung wiederhergestellt werden.
Dr. Nathan Corey: Wegweisende botanische Nano-Mist-Technologie fĆ¼r eine fortschrittliche Lungenreinigung
āIch verstehe, dass viele Menschen die Gesundheit ihrer Lunge oft vernachlƤssigen, besonders wenn die ersten Symptome noch mild erscheinen. Jeden Tag ist unser Atmungssystem Luftverschmutzung, Passivrauch, KochdƤmpfen und anderen Reizstoffen ausgesetzt. Diese sammeln sich allmƤhlich an und verursachen langfristige, verborgene SchƤden.
Bei der Entwicklung des CareBreezeĀ® 6-in-1 KrƤuter-Propolis Lungenreinigungsspray haben wir hochwertiges Bienenpropolis als Hauptbestandteil gewƤhlt, da es weithin als das ultimative āBio-Schutzschildā der Natur gilt. Bienenpropolis besitzt starke antimikrobielle und entzĆ¼ndungshemmende Eigenschaften. Es hilft, tief sitzenden Schleim und Toxine aus den Atemwegen zu entfernen, gereiztes Gewebe zu beruhigen und die natĆ¼rlichen SelbstreinigungsfƤhigkeiten der Lunge zu stƤrken. Mein Ziel ist es, eine sichere und natĆ¼rliche Mƶglichkeit zu bieten, die Lungengesundheit tƤglich zu schĆ¼tzen und jeden Atemzug leichter und erfrischender zu machen.ā
POWERED BY NATURE
Kƶnigskerze | Der āWƤchter der Atemwegeā: Wollblume ist reich an natĆ¼rlichen Saponinen, die wie ein āMagnetā wirken, um tief in der Lunge angesammelte RĆ¼ckstƤnde anzuziehen und zu verflĆ¼ssigen. Sie unterstĆ¼tzt sanft den Abhustungsprozess, reinigt Verunreinigungen, die durch Umweltverschmutzung oder Rauchen entstanden sind, und legt gleichzeitig eine beruhigende pflanzliche Schutzschicht Ć¼ber empfindliche Bronchialmembranen, sodass sich jeder Atemzug klarer anfĆ¼hlt.
Rohhonig| Der āflĆ¼ssige VerjĆ¼ngerā: Reich an aktiven Enzymen, spendet er tiefgehende Feuchtigkeit fĆ¼r trockene, juckende Kehlen und beschleunigt die natĆ¼rliche Regeneration geschƤdigter Atemwegsgewebe.
Wie das CareBreezeĀ® 6-in-1 KrƤuter-Propolis Lungenreinigungsspray funktioniert:
Direkte Absorption & umfassende Lungenentgiftung:Ā Durch unsere schnell absorbierende Nano-Mist-Technologie dringen die aktiven Saponine aus der Wollblume tief in die Atemwege ein. Sie wirken wie ein Magnet, um zƤhen Lungenschleim effektiv abzubauen und zu entfernen, stellen einen gesunden Luftstrom wieder her und lindern Symptome wie Atembeschwerden, EngegefĆ¼hl in der Brust und anhaltenden Husten.
Fortschrittliches Nano-Mist-Abgabesystem
DasĀ CareBreezeĀ® 6-in-1 KrƤuter-Propolis Lungenreinigungsspray nutzt ein fortschrittliches Nano-Mist-Abgabesystem und kombiniert die synergistische Kraft von Wollblume, natĆ¼rlichem Bienenpropolis und vier weiteren wirkungsvollen KrƤuterextrakten. Dieses gezielte Nasenspray-Format stellt sicher, dass die aktiven Mikropartikel den Verdauungstrakt umgehen und schnell tief in die Atemwege eindringen. Es wirkt sofort, um zƤhen Schleim, der durch Rauchen, Allergien oder Umweltverschmutzung verursacht wurde, zu verflĆ¼ssigen und auszuleiten. Durch die Beschleunigung des natĆ¼rlichen Entgiftungsprozesses des Kƶrpers sorgt es fĆ¼r eine grĆ¼ndliche Reinigung der Atemwege, sodass Sie schnell wieder freies, frisches und mĆ¼heloses Atmen erreichen.
Lungen-Toxine vollstƤndig eliminieren
Hier sind die Ergebnisse von Max Winters aus Toronto nach 7 Wochen der Anwendung des CareBreezeĀ® 6-in-1 KrƤuter-Propolis Lungenreinigungssprays
āAls jemand, der viele Jahre auf Baustellen gearbeitet hat, war ich tƤglich starkem Staub und Schadstoffen ausgesetzt. Im Laufe der Jahre fĆ¼hrte dies schlieĆlich dazu, dass ich eine chronisch obstruktive Lungenerkrankung (COPD) entwickelte. Anfangs hatte ich nur gelegentlich Atemnot, aber mit der Zeit verschlimmerten sich die Symptome. Meine Lungenfunktion nahm ab, und Husten sowie pfeifende Atmung wurden zu einem festen Bestandteil meines Lebens. Mein Arzt sagte mir, dass dieser Zustand, wenn er unbehandelt bleibt, meine LebensqualitƤt ernsthaft beeintrƤchtigen und sogar mein Leben gefƤhrden kƶnnte. Ich musste jeden Tag einen Inhalator verwenden, und das Atmen wurde zunehmend schwieriger. Selbst einfache Aufgaben wurden zur Herausforderung. Als ich die Werbung fĆ¼r das CareBreezeĀ® 6-in-1 KrƤuter-Propolis Lungenreinigungsspray sah, beschloss ich, es auszuprobieren und mir selbst eine Chance zu geben.ā
āNach nur etwa einer Woche der Anwendung, bei der ich lediglich einen kurzen SprĆ¼hstoĆ in jedes Nasenloch verwendete, konnte ich deutlich spĆ¼ren, dass mein Atem leichter wurde. Wenn ich morgens aufwachte, hatte ich nicht mehr das GefĆ¼hl, keine Luft zu bekommen, und die HƤufigkeit meines Hustens hatte abgenommen. Besonders nachts wurde meine Atmung weniger schwer und anstrengend. Ich stellte fest, dass der feine KrƤuterdunst sofort ein GefĆ¼hl von weniger Enge in meiner Lunge erzeugte und eine erfrischende, langsam zurĆ¼ckkehrende Kraft mein Atemvermƶgen stƤrkte. Vier Wochen spƤter ging ich zur Nachuntersuchung ins Krankenhaus, und der Arzt war Ć¼berrascht festzustellen, dass die EntzĆ¼ndung in meinen Atemwegen deutlich zurĆ¼ckgegangen war und sich meine Lungenfunktion verbessert hatte. Auch meine Familie bemerkte, dass ich viel mehr Energie hatte und kaum noch auf meinen Inhalator angewiesen war. Das gab mir enormen Auftrieb.ā
ā4 Wochen sind vergangen, und dasĀ CareBreezeĀ® Spray hat nicht nur meine COPD-Symptome gelindert, sondern auch mein Atmungssystem revitalisiert. Mein Arzt bestƤtigte, dass sich meine Lungenfunktion weit Ć¼ber den Erwartungen verbessert hat. Mein Husten, das pfeifende Atmen und das EngegefĆ¼hl in der Brust sind vollstƤndig verschwunden, und ich bin nicht mehr auf einen Inhalator angewiesen. Dieser Genesungsprozess fĆ¼hlt sich wie ein Wunder an. Ich kann jetzt sogar mit meinen Kindern im Park spazieren gehen, ohne mir Sorgen zu machen, dass ich schlecht Luft bekomme oder erschƶpft bin. Dieses Produkt hat mein Leben vollstƤndig verƤndert. Jetzt empfehle ich das CareBreezeĀ® 6-in-1 Lungenreinigungsspray von ganzem Herzen allen, die an COPD, Staubbelastung oder Atemwegsproblemen leiden ā es hat mir wirklich unendliche Hoffnung und Gesundheit gebracht.ā--Raymond Collins

This may just be my new favorite YA Fantasy series!
Format: Hardcover
*May contain spoilers
Six of Crows is one of those books that I could truly kick myself for waiting so long to read. Now that Iāve finally finished reading it, all I keep thinking is what a fool I was to deprive myself of one of the most original and amazing fantasy stories Iāve ever read. I feel like Iām not even going to begin to do this book justice, but hopefully, since Iām pretty sure Iām one of the last people on the planet to actually read it, you guys will all just nod your heads in agreement because you already know why Six of Crows is such a fabulous read.
For those unfamiliar with the basic storyline, Six of Crows follows Kaz Brekker, a teenage criminal mastermind, who has been offered an opportunity to achieve wealth beyond his wildest dreams. How? By completing what can probably best be described as Mission Impossible. He has to break into the Ice Court, a heavy guarded military stronghold that has never successfully been broken into before. Once inside, his mission is to locate and smuggle out a scientist who is being held hostage there because he possesses knowledge on how to amplify and weaponize magic. Kaz knows enough about the dangers of the Ice Court to know that, without the right team, this heist is going to be nearly impossible, possibly even a suicide mission. Lucky for Kaz though, he knows exactly who the right team is: a deadly gang of young thugs, thieves, and runaways who are just desperate enough to agree to be part of this crazy mission.
LIKES
What I loved most about Six of Crows are the characters. Leigh Bardugo has crafted some of the most fascinating and unique characters Iāve come across in YA fantasy. I always enjoy stories that feature an anti-hero and with Kaz and his āCrows,ā we have 6 anti-heroes! I love anti-heroes because theyāre always such complex characters and these characters are no different. What each of the Crows have in common is that they have no family and theyāve each had to do some pretty awful things in the name of survival, including resorting to thievery and murder. Through flashbacks that give us backstory on each of the characters, however, Bardugo manages to make this gang of thugs so sympathetic that you canāt help but fall in love with them. I also liked the angle that each character seemed to have their own, sometimes selfish motives, for wanting to be a part of Kazās mission and it added an element of suspense at times, as I wondered if someone would sabotage the mission to serve their own needs.
Itās hard to pick a favorite character because theyāre all so badass, but Kaz is definitely near the top of my list. As Iāve already mentioned, heās a criminal mastermind. Even though heās a teenager, his reputation precedes him and he is feared by many in Ketterdam, the city where the story takes place. Kaz can be as greedy as he can be cruel, but heās also so brilliant, brazen, and daring that you canāt help being drawn to him. Kaz is also haunted by events from his past that left him alone and destitute, and heās highly motivated by the desire for revenge against the man he holds responsible for what happened.
In addition to Kaz, there are also two badass female characters, Inej and Nina. Inej, known as the wraith, has a reputation for being somewhat of a ninja. Kaz calls her his spider because she can climb her way pretty much anywhere and can do so undetected, a very handy skill in their line of āwork.ā Sheās also very skilled with knives and is perhaps the most murderous member of Kazās team. I just loved watching her in action as she cut down anyone who posed a threat to the team. What made Inej especially fascinating to me was the connection between her and Kaz. As much as Kaz tries to be all business, all the time and never show any emotion or weakness, itās clear that he has a soft spot when it comes to Inej and her safety. Itās also pretty clear that thereās a good chance the feeling is mutual.
Nina is what is known as a Grisha, which means she possesses magical abilities. For the purposes of Kazās mission, Nina can use that magic to do useful things like slow peopleās heartrates down until they lose consciousness. She can also use her powers for healing purposes, also handy when youāre on a super-dangerous mission. As we learn from her backstory, Ninaās people have been persecuted for years because of their magic -- imprisoned, tortured, and even burned at the stake. Because the Grisha are the ones whose magic would be weaponized, Nina has personal reasons for wanting to take part in this mission.
Matthias is one of the characters that intrigued me the most. At first, I couldnāt stand him, but the more I got to know about him, the more I just grew to adore him. Kaz recruits him by breaking him out of jail and offering him a pardon for his crimes in exchange for his help with the mission. Kaz sees Matthias as one of the biggest assets to the team because he used to work in the Ice Castle and can therefore give them the overall layout of the place, how the security works, etc. Matthias is torn because he knows he should be loyal to the Ice Castle, but at the same time, how can you turn down a chance to be pardoned so that you can get your life back? What makes the whole situation even more complicated is that he and Nina have shared history and he holds her responsible for his imprisonment. Tension, much? I swear I was convinced those two were going to kill each other for about half the book! Beneath all that hate they seemed to have for each other though, you could sense there was something more, an almost smoldering attraction for one another. Let me tell you ā Iām not usually big on romance, but I was shipping the heck out of Nina and Matthias!
Jesper and Wylan. While these two guys were clearly assets to the team as well with their knowledge of weapons and explosives, respectively, what I loved most about Jesper and Wylan was that they provided a bit of comic relief where the other characters were so intense all the time. Jesper and Wylan teased each other relentlessly and their banter was just hilarious at times.
The world building in Six of Crows is also top notch. Bardugo paints a vivid picture of Ketterdam with its rival street gangs swarming around duking it out for power. Itās a dark and gritty world, as well as a dangerous one, filled with assorted thieves, predators, and traitors. Itās hard to know who, if anyone, can be trusted. The atmosphere definitely creates a sensation that all of the characters are vulnerable to attack by anyone anywhere so they have to be in survival mode at all times.
The Grisha magic system is also well thought out and vividly drawn. I went into Six of Crows without having read the Grisha series, which was probably a mistake as Iām sure it would have further enriched my understanding of the Grisha magic and their history, but even without having read it, I still felt like I completely understood the magic and why it would be such a valuable weapon if it could be amplified and harnessed. Imagine practically indestructible armies of Grisha fighting on your behalf. Youād be unstoppable.
Action, Action, Action! As Iām sure you can imagine just based on the details of their mission, Six of Crows is truly action-packed. There are endless twists and turns, obstacles that need to be overcome, enemies that need to be taken out, plans that fall apart and then need to be improvised. Although the novel starts out at a fairly slow pace as we are meeting each character and establishing the world of Ketterdam, once Kaz and his gang get started on their missions, itās like jumping on a thrill ride that doesnāt stop until the final page.
DISLIKES
I canāt really say this is a dislike of the book, but it did take me about a hundred pages or so to really become invested in the characters and get sucked into the story. Again, Iām chalking up my slow start to needing extra time to understand the Grisha magic and how it worked because I didnāt read the Grisha trilogy first. Once I did get sucked in, however, there was no stopping me. It probably took me 3 or 4 days to get to page 100, but then I inhaled the last 300 or so pages in another day and a half. I guess my advice would if you are struggling to get into it, stick with it until they actually get started with the planning of their mission. It might be a slow build in the beginning, but itās a wild ride from that point to the very end.
FINAL THOUGHTS
I truly loved pretty much everything about Six of Crows, hence why Iām kicking myself for having waited so long to read it. Up until now, Victoria Schwabās Shades of Magic series has been, hands down, my favorite YA fantasy series. I have to say though, Six of Crows is seriously giving it a run for its money.

Adult Fiction disguised as YA
Format: Kindle
When you first read the blurb and or the initial chapters of Crows, youād think this was an adult fantasy book. The book even reads like adult fantasy, until you discover itās anything but.
I think the biggest plot twist to this is in the way the author matter-of-factly tells you the exact age of her characters and its always coupled after explaining that characters extraordinary background.
Somehow itās possible to be a seasoned assassin, rogue or racketeer (or all three, in that order) at just 13-17 years old.
Somehow you can live the life of a jaded 50-year-old at the ripe olā age of 12.
Somehow all the adults are either too rich, too dense or too dead (or all three, in that order) to operate a lucrative underground business, but kids are exceptionably capable.
Somehow itās possible to be a father-figure to people the same age as you.
Iām specifically talking about Kaz here. Heās like that hardnose uncle who grunts all the time and tells you only what he wants you to hear. I loled each time he scolded a member of his crew.
Initially (before I knew the ages of these people) I thought Kaz & Inejās relationship was more a teacher/mentor relationship, but then it morphed into this awkward romance where Kaz has less personality than a rubber ducky and Inej a lukewarm glass of water. To be fair, Inej got better as the story progressed, becoming the only one I really liked.
To the authorās credit, she does make a point to explain Numbuh OneāI mean, Kazās abnormal cynical mannerism. But then the other characters (who are younger btw) act similarly. Whatās their excuse? It was jarring to get behind, but what aided me through was that I just pictured everyone looking like the main cast from Kids Next Door and it helped tremendously!
Matthidus and Nina are virtually the same character. Their chapters were a drag on the narrative due to the fact that these two NEVER STFU about what they did to one another. Itās the āwoe, itās meā amped up to a thousand.
Jesper and Wylan were coolā¦ thatās all I have to say about them.
Never at one point did I have a liking to any of the characters (besides Inej), neither did I feel they were ever in any real danger. Kaz is a walking-talking dues ex machina. The characters find themselves in a bind and he already has the solution to their problems. Heās like Superman morphed with Batman while the other characters are just your bog standard Metropolis denizens who constantly need saving or guidance.
In a nutshell, heās a Mary Sue.
I found the pacing bogged down to the point that it was hard to keep my eyes open while reading. Not because itās badly written but because the author constantly reverts back to the charactersā backstory over and over again. There would be a needless flashback in the middle of a fight scene. Characters near death randomly float off to dream land while getting the crap beat out of them. It was jarring.
Closing remarks
All-in-All, Crows is a unique book. I canāt really talk about the plot without spoiling anything, but itās innovative and engaging. I can say the book is worth your time if you can circumvent the kids playing grownup, then you should enjoy it.

No Mourners..
Format: Hardcover
āNo mournersā¦ā
āā¦no funerals.ā
Among them, it passed for good luck. ā
This quote is a perfect description of the tone set throughout this entire novel. A hopelessness so ingrained in a group of people that their phrase for good luck is hinged around the idea of no one mourning or honoring their deaths.
Having read the Shadow and Bone trilogy, I was familiar with the Grisha universe prior to reading this novel. If youāre wondering which you should read first, I suggest reading the trilogy prior to the duology ā it will get you a lot of historical context that lays the foundation for the problems, war and ultimate state of the world this book is set it. I will say, I enjoyed the Grisha trilogy but found myself frustrated with the direction the story ended up going. Leigh Bardugo is a phenomenal writer but it felt like the end of that trilogy took the easy way out ā but that review is for a different day.
Six of crows shows Bardugoās redemption in making the difficult but correct plot choices, in my opinion. This entire book is thrilling because the reader (presumably having read her previous Grisha trilogy) goes into the story assuming they will have some idea of where the story will go, having explored this world before. This couldnāt be farther from the truth. Six of crows follows the dark and dangerous mob-lifestyles in the Barrel of Ketterdam, far away from the Golden Palace of Prince Nikolai and the worshiped Sankta Alina. Bardugo does not shy away from the dark and gruesome reality of the mob lifestyle, she embraces it. Readers are shown vivid descriptions of call-girls, gambling rings, mistakes punishable by death and ruthless leaders capable of lethality at any second. Despite such a horrific environment, Bardugoās character development leaves the readers connecting, loving and rooting for characters with truly horrible qualities.
One thing I appreciated was the pacing of this story ā youāre shown an enticing and mysterious scene right off the bat, completely immersing you into this story as you crave to find out more behind what happened. Immediately, youāre pulled away and shown the humble beginnings of Kas Brekker and the Dregs from the Crow Club, learning about their personalities, roles, and motives for the dangerous job that takes up most of the story. Readers learn details slowly ā not so slow that theyāre bored ā but slow enough that theyāre kept hooked to the plot, hoping the next page turn will provide the answer they need. Just when you might become a bit bored by the plot, a twist or exciting, unexpected wrench gets thrown into the mix bringing you back in.
As you go along in the story, youāre introduced to more details about each member of the Dregs, their pasts that led them to this journey they take together, and the secrets that shape their relationships. These details are done brilliantly, as readers are able to see these memories and experiences from each characters point of view. This brings a human quality to the characters and allows readers to empathize with their situations, thus creating a bond between reader and character that allows them to continue to love and support the Dregs despite the horrible things they do to each other and others throughout the journey. Youāre rooting for them to get the endings they want and deserve and hoping they wonāt choose to lie, cheat, kill and steal in order to get there, but ultimately accept that that is just who they are.
The only time this aspect of the characters was frustrating was at the end of the book. The relationship between Kaz and Inej is tantalizingly frustrating throughout the story, but the end of the book is where we really see Kazās nature and I found myself so frustrated that he couldnāt be better for her and that because of him, Inej gets placed in the worst case scenario. Iām hoping that he redeems himself in the second installment.
Overall ā thereās no denying that Leigh Bardugo has talent and if you loved the first trilogy, I guarantee youāll love this one even more. If you had mixed feelings on the first Grisha trilogy, I urge you to give this duology a try. I think youāll be pleasantly surprised. Stay tuned for the review around book two!

Great read with an interesting plot
It took me quite some time to get to this book, mostly because I never managed to read the original Grisha trilogy, I tried several times to get started with it, but there was something about it that didnāt quite suck me in. Eventually though, I gave up that series and decided to dig into Six of Crows even though I had not read the Grisha trilogy in advance. And I am happy that I did because Six of Crows was an easy read that pulled me in rather quickly.
In Six of Crows we follow a group of six criminals from a gang called the Dregs, and when their leader, Kaz, gets a job that would change their lives forever, he canāt say no, despite the job being as impossible as it gets. So, in this book, we get to come along on the quest as they set out to break into one of the most secure prisoners in Fjerda.
Thereās a lot of things that I really enjoy in this book, but also a few things that slightly annoyed me. But for the most part this is a great read and the way the author has managed to keep the reader invested in all three characters and their separate POVs is impressive, not once did I feel like any of the characters were unnecessary or flat. Every character is well developed with interesting backstory and thereās also a lot going on in their relationships and thanks to the separate POVās you get a very intimate connection to each an ever characters emotions and reasons to what they do. Itās, like I said, beautifully crafted and the writing too is beautiful and vivid.
The wordbuiling is great and Bardugo manages to incorporate details of the world and the scenery in the story without it feeling heavy with information. It all flows very well, and as I read it was easy to picture the scenes.
The plot was interesting, full of twists and turns and seeing the teamās job take shape from the eyes of multiple POVs made for a very interesting read and also gave the heist that sense of mystery and surprise that weāre used to seeing on tv and in movies.
As for the things that I didnāt quite like it was not bad enough to really make a difference in the overall rating, but it was still things that stuck out to me. The first being that I felt like the heist sometimes got overshadowed by massive bits of backstory. The backstory itself didnāt bother me because they were interesting and great, and they made me understand and connect with the character a lot more, but I didnāt feel like they were necessary for the story in that elaborated manor they had been written in, less information had been enough and kept the pacing of the main plot more consistent. So, even though I enjoyed learning about the characters pasts and the reasons they ended up in the gang, I would have preferred more focus on the heist itself.
The second thing is the beginning. It was unnecessary and pointless. Why make us invested in Joost and Anya just to basically never mention them again? I get the point of showing what the drug could do, but there must have been a better way to do it.
The third thing is related to the Fjerdans and primarily their language. The Fjerdanās are, according to what Iāve read from interviews with Leigh Bardugo, heavily influenced by Scandinavia, and more specifically Sweden and Norway. As a swede, I can totally see that, and I knew that it is a fictional language and that my own language has been used as inspiration. But I couldnāt help feel a bit thrown off when there was suddenly words that I knew from my own language being used when there was so many other words used that didnāt fit at all with the way weād use those words. Itās hard to explain, and truly it doesnāt really matter since itās fiction and not real, but it was something that stood out to me, like a hiccup that broke the flow of my reading. I think it would have bothered me less if the Fjerdans had actually spoken any of the Scandinavian languages, or at least had a more reasonable structure to their sentences and words that would have fit well with the use of actual words from our language. And in this same line are the names of the Fjerdan DrĆ¼skelle. There were typical Scandinavian names at a lot of the times, but then there were these names that stood out and didnāt fit in with the rest weād been told. But, Iām not going to let any of this affect the rating since this is just a personal thing that most likely wouldnāt bothered anyone else, and if does not in any way affect the intensity and greatness of the story.
So, overall, this book will get a solid 4/5 stars from me, and I canāt wait to dig into the sequel. I can also highly recommend this book to basically everyone, itās a great read and the way Leigh Bardugo handled all six POVs is reason enough for every author to pick up this book.

SIX OF CROWS: My favorite book of 2015
Format: Hardcover
REVIEW: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
Published September 29th, 2015 by Henry Holt and Co. Genres: Young Adult, Fantasy Edition: Hardcover Source: Purchased Pages: 465 Rating: 5/5 stars
Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right priceāand no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he canāt pull it off aloneā¦
A convict with a thirst for revenge.
A sharpshooter who canāt walk away from a wager.
A runaway with a privileged past.
A spy known as the Wraith.
A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums.
A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes.
Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kazās crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destructionāif they donāt kill each other first.
From the moment I heard the description of this book, I was intrigued. A band of thieves attempting to pull off a huge heist? Sign me up! I was counting down the days till it released. I had such high expectations for this book. And believe me, they were met. I couldnāt put this book down. I loved every minute of it. Now, it is one of my favorite books of all time, and Iāve read a lot of books. I titled this āreviewā. In a review, you usually find criticism of the book. But since I loved this book, itāll mostly be me gushing about all my thoughts. I just want to run up to people, shove this book in their face, scream āREAD ITā, and then go and reread it by myself.
the plot
It was so interesting! I loved the whole heist. Something was always happening, and it was always interesting. It kept me surprised: PLOT TWISTS!
the characters
The characters were probably my favorite part of this book. We meet six that, by the end of the book, I had come to love. Theyāre all so unique. I loved reading from each perspective, that way I got to know the characters a lot better.
āNo mourners. No funerals. Among them, it passed for āgood luck.ā
Kaz- The leader.
āGreed is your god, Kaz.ā
He almost laughed at that. āNo, Inej. Greed bows to me. It is my servant and my lever.ā
āA liar, a thief, and utterly without conscience. But heāll keep to any deal you strike with him.ā
Nina- Sheās so brave, snarky, funny, and just an amazing strong female character. I loved that we had a Grisha in the group.
Inej-MY FAVORITE. Sheās an ex-circus performer who now is a spy known as The Wraith. She struggled between her dedication to the gang and her desire to see her family again.
āBesides, she was the Wraith-the only law that applied to her was gravity, and some days she defied that, too.ā
Jesper- the sharpshooter, who added so much to the story. The chapter told from his point of view are really great, because you see the other characters how he does, and I think he sees them how they truly are.
āTake good care of my babies,ā Jesper said as he handed [his guns] over to Dirix.
āIf I see a single scratch or nick on those, Iāll spell forgive me on your chest in bullet holes.ā
Wylan- He was this adorable, innocent, little boy at first. But his character changed/revealed as the story went along, and I LOVED it. I wished we could have gotten chapters from his POV, but Leigh said there will be in the 2nd!
āAlways hit where the mark isnāt looking.ā
āWhoās Mark?ā Asked Wylan.
Matthias- I loved how he struggled with loyalty to his country and his love for Nina, and I also loved seeing the backstory of how him and Nina met.
āAnd what did you do, Matthias? What did you do to me in your dreams?ā
āEverything,ā he said, as he turned to go. āEverything.ā
the romance!
I loved how the story was not overpowered by the romances in this book. It was a side plot that made the story more interesting. It wasnāt as prominent as the action part, but it was there. And it was amazing. I wonāt spoil anything, but let me just say, I have 3 new OTPs just from this book.
the setting
In Bardugoās previous trilogy, which I loved, we get to know the world a little, but itās mostly set in Ravka, one country. Six of Crows was in a different country in this world, Kerch, and the group travels to a new country, Fjerda. I loved getting to know this world better. Also, the characters are from different countries so we get to know their view on their country and the others.
the writing
Her writing, like always, was incredible. It flowed beautifully. Some people have said it starts out slow, but once you pass the first 100 pages, things start picking up and getting really interesting. (I was interested the whole time, of course. I loved it from the very beginning.) But if youāre not enjoying it as much, Iām begging you. Keep trying. Itās SO worth it. Thereās so many amazing quotes! I literally have notes and notes full of them.
This book is funny! It made me laugh out loud a lot (and I was in public, so people stared at me.)
āJesper knocked his head against the hull and cast his eyes heavenward. āFine. But if Pekka Rollins kills us all, Iām going to get Wylanās ghost to teach my ghost how to play the flute just so that I can annoy the hell out of your ghost.
Brekkerās lips quicker. āIāll just hire Matthiasā ghost to kick your ghostās ass.ā
āMy ghost wonāt associate with your ghost,ā Matthias said primly, and then wondered if the sea air was rotting his brain.ā
This book is so gorgeous! The cover is beautiful, but my absolute FAVORITE thing about it has to be the black edged pages. And the maps!! Thereās two beautiful maps. TWO!
what I didnāt like
I honestly canāt think of anything I didnāt like in this book. I tried to come up with something, but I loved it too much.
I highly, HIGHLY recommend you check this book out. It brings all the feels. I need the second book, Crooked Kingdom, NOW. Also, if you havenāt read Bardugoās Grisha Trilogy, you should. A lot of people have asked me, āDo I have to read the Grisha Trilogy before Six of Crows?ā My answer has been: No, you donāt have to. Of course I would recommend that you do, as it is one of my favorite trilogies. If you donāt, you might be a little lost in the world, and there are some characters mentioned in here from that trilogy that you wouldnāt understand, but you could understand the story. There are minor spoilers of the end of Ruin and Rising in Six of Crows, but there is also some misleading. If you read the Grisha trilogy, you learn more about Ravka, where Nina is from, which helps you understand her better. Plus, itās just an amazing trilogy. You SHOULD. But no, you do not have to.
Okay, Iāll just conclude my ramblings now. Go read this book, please. This review took so long to write, because I had so many good things to say, and I reread Six of Crows while writing it.
