Six of Crows is essentially a high-speed adventure set in a fantasy world. But there’s much more to the story. Kaz Brekker, notorious for leading dangerous people through dangerous missions, is offered an impossibly large sum of money if he completes an even more impossible heist. In order to do so, he needs a good crew. No, a great crew. A crew that is willing to suffer and put everything on the line. And Kaz finds just that. Inej, Jesper, Wylan, Nina and Matthias hold the perfect skill sets for such an endeavor.
