okay I literally know nothing about this series somehow I have avoided all spoilers this is completely new to me! I am very excited
a friend of mine recommended me six of crows YEARS AGO and I bought it but ended up not reading it because I was in the middle of a different series and then I forgot about it but here we are! we& #39;ll get there eventually
kinda obvious but figure I ought to do a PSA there will be spoilers in this thread for the book! I haven& #39;t watched the series and I& #39;m not going to until I& #39;ve finished the book so I’m not gonna be able to pick up on differences and stuff it& #39;ll just be my reactions :)
first of all the MAP!! IT& #39;S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I READ A BOOK WITH A MAP AT THE FRONT THIS IS EXCITING
the UNSEA seems so terrifying those fucking creatures
okay to the reading
the first chapter and I& #39;m already gripped I want to see how they do in the test? how are they gonna be tested?? interesting to see there& #39;s stigma around the Grisha? like the whole & #39;witches& #39; thing is a good conflict for the story mhm also that LAST LINE-
I want to know more about the duke he seems cool?? has loads of money adopts orphans of the war fights in the war?? seems like a cool guy I hope there& #39;s more of him
but please "He knew the look of a man defending his home with nothing but a rock in his hand" WHAT A WAY TO END THE FIRST CHAPTER????? HELLO?? OF COURSE I WANT TO KEEP READING THAT& #39;S SO METAL DESCRIBING THE KIDS LIKE THAT
alina is not like other girls apparently lets see also Mal is cute i don& #39;t care what a soft brother vibe from him
okay APPARENTLY THAT WAS NOT CHAPTER 1 BECAUSE I JUST TURNED THE PAGE AND IT SAYS CHAPTER ONE BUT ANYWAY THAT WAS REALLY VERY GOOD I AM INTRIGUED
chapter 1:
oh so the shadow fold is the unsea!!
the darkling rattling past on his coach hey sexy
okay i wanna know what all the coloured uniforms are i know it& #39;ll tell me eventually but rn i’m like ok blue one red one
i know i& #39;m pronouncing all of these place names wrong in my head i& #39;ve studied russian before i know they& #39;re russian inspired but there& #39;s no way i’m pronouncing them right lmao
ok so im guessing mal and alina didn& #39;t prove any ability or whatever in the grisha test then? upset we didn& #39;t get to see what that test was why did i think that would be cool to see
think i& #39;m hung up on the test i will stop mentioning it
also ALINA likes MAL??? i know they& #39;re not really siblings but

ok damn mal id be in love with him too fair enough alina if he took my hand and said it& #39;s you and me i would simply be in love too
side note why are guys called mal all attractive the mf i know is the most charming guy i know
okay alina being sad that her and mal are different people and might not always be friends hurts but it is tainted by her crush on him don& #39;t be a hopeless simp just get over it
THAT& #39;S SO HARSH i’m SORRY that& #39;s my personal opinion alina you& #39;re better than moping over a guy who doesn& #39;t feel the same about you
chapter 2:
excited to see what it& #39;s like inside the fold!! oooo
WHAT THE FUCK ALEXEI AND MAL BOTH DIED???? WHAT THE FU CK
NOT MAL I LIKED HIM :(
okay but the fold spooky asf
DID ALINA DO A BIG EMOTION LIGHT THING WHAT JUST HAPPENED so much just happened
the classic protagonist didn& #39;t know their powers until they conjure them in a fit of emotion and then pass out trope
chapter 3:
what is a heartrender has this already been explained
cant imagine the darkling as anyone but ben barnes kinda sad but also not mad about it
WAIT MAL& #39;S ALIVE THANK GOD
LMAO ALINA YELLING AT THE CARTOGRAPHER HAHA
DAANNNG
okay but the way the darkling& #39;s voice is described why is he so sexy
chapter 4:
this book moves FAST but I love it there& #39;s so much that happens it& #39;s keeping me ENTERTAINED honestly doing chapter by chapter feels like I& #39;m breaking up my reading almost too much lmao
my conclusions from this chapter is just that the darkling is so fucking hot
chapter 5:
I have decided most of the things I& #39;m gonna say in this thread is how much I am loving the darkling this mf hot AND funny
