A Court of Crows is the first book in the gripping Talons and Tethers saga, a new adult fantasy romance series. Expect courtly intrigue, assassination plots, plenty of heart-pounding action sequences, and strong heroines who do their own rescuing. Leigh Bardugo Talks Six of Crows, Heist Movies and Skinny Dipping". The Huffington Post. September 29, 2015 . Retrieved February 17, 2016. If that wasn’t enough for you, Jesper just about says the words “Six of Crows” in the finale as he’s talking about why someone should write the crew’s adventures down. The sharp-shooter says:
A small army of elves called Crows come to help (for remuneration, naturally) and when the leader Ruith and she meet, romance explodes (well, semi-explodes... mini-explodes? I mean, they're not VOLATILE or flammable anything, but there's definitely heat, and they're not IMploding :-D) Anyway (dork tangent aside), besides the main storyline of them working to survive the city being beseiged, there's a secondary storyline (romannnnnnce!) between a Crow and what I imagine is this world's equivalent of a war monk :-D I can't give names because spoilers (maybe? Blah), but anyway, I am a guilty gal here (goin' Texan again, y'all), 'cuz I loved that sub-storyline so much, even more than the main romance - shame on me sorry not sorry :-P I loved the main characters, especially the Crow commanders. All the characters were really well developed and felt real (and there was a lot of different representation). Multiple POV's added to the characters and I was never annoyed that the POV changed (unlike some books). My favourite character might've been Ieduin (I think I have a bias towards funny characters) but I honestly can't choose. Eris was cool as a female main character: she's strong, fights for her people, and is horny for Ruith (which understandable). Also, Isaac was an amazing character, so wholesome.
Fearing she will die in the incinerator shaft, Inej curses Kaz and herself for believing in him. She begins to despair, when suddenly, she has an epiphany. If she survives and pulls off the heist, she can use the money to buy her own ship and hunt down slavers like the ones who kidnapped her. With renewed purpose, she begins to climb.
The magic. mostly explained at the end during an interaction between characters, but I'm still a fan. I want Katyr's story.Watch them more closely, more carefully. Pay attention next time!" Where did you come from? "Crow Mother hatched us, taught us to talk. She made me the duke, for I am the smartest and biggest and loudest. I speak to you through the magic of this place, but neither I nor the Court can leave until we are freed. Please, help us!" What do you need me to do? "Come with me inside and free us from the cult's clutches! Though I am very mighty, it is not within my power to save myself or my Court! I need your assistance! Jesper is often upset with Kaz's callous treatment of others, such as Wylan and Jesper's father, occasionally leading to physical altercations between the two. Jesper is usually unafraid to question Kaz's judgment and plans, though Kaz knows Jesper will defer to him in the end. With Brucia’s forces decimated, and a siege looming, Eris needs help. Who better to repel the elven invaders than a band of elven mercenaries? They make it safely to the open sea, and the group anxiously watches Nina while Kuwei explains the effects of jurda parem withdrawal. Nina tells Inej that with her current enhanced senses, she can hear Kaz's breath catch every time he looks at her. Alone with Inej, Kaz asks what she will do with her share of the money. She says she will buy a boat, get a crew, and learn how to sail. He asks her to stay with him instead. She says he has to shed his armor for her to be in a relationship with him; he doesn't respond and Inej leaves.
