dear mister kristoff, why must you hurt me like this

11/10 i need the next book NOW

I'm so excited for the graphic novel!!

me on august 5th 2025

my love for you is stronger than my hatred for myself.

Dear Book Industry: please start including QR codes to the audio version in the physical copies of your books. I paid $$ for this, I want to be able to enjoy the story in every way.

Sincerely, me who is currently sick with too much of a headache to read, there's no free audiobook of Assassin's Apprentice to be found online, I'm not paying 15 bucks AGAIN to listen on audible after I already paid that much for the physical copy of this book.

Please make it easier for story-hungry people like me to get ahead in their books even if they're unable to physically read sometimes.

I'm desperate and have looked EVERYWHERE for a free Assassin's Apprentice audiobook.

sleep paralysis barkbark

can you imagine being Jean Moreau and waking up in the middle of the night from a horrific night terror only to sit up and be met with the everlasting stare of a cardboard golden retriever named fucking Barkbark Von Barkenstein

Perfect summary of why I adore this book

Does anyone else just sit and think about the fact that Six of Crows is literally the perfect book?

Like, we have a morally grey character who's actually morally grey and has a real reason to push people away other than "once I killed someone in self defense, so I'm a terrible person and we can't be together." And every other character has a super fleshed out backstory as well, including real world problems that don't usually get talked about in fantasy books.

There's just as heavy an emphasis on platonic love as romantic love, instead of "I can fix him", it's "he can fix himself", there's a gay couple that's actually happy and not suffering every five pages, and all of the gay characters have personality traits outside of the fact that they're gay.

And speaking of the romance, it's so not rushed or sexualized. No one even kisses in the first book, but it's still so obvious how much they love each other. Each couple has such a different dynamic, and the way their pasts mirror each other? Perfection. (I also firmly believe that Kanej is the best couple in all of YA prove me wrong)

And then the diversity??? 3/7 of the lead characters are POCs, 4/7 are queer, 3 have disabilities, 2 have addictions, 2 have PTSD, 2 are religious, one was raised in a cult, and it's not one of those books that has diverse characters just for the sake of being diverse!

The plot is so unique, especially among fantasy books, and despite the fact that there's so many moving parts, there is not a single plot hole. And the CK auction scene will forever be one of the best end of series climaxes I have ever read.

So basically I don't get why other authors even try anymore cause I'm sorry but no matter how great their books are, it's not going to be Six of Crows.
