Ли Бардуго (Leigh Bardugo)Praise for Six of Crows
‘This has all the right elements to keep readers enthralled: a cunning leader with a plan for every occasion, nigh-impossible odds, an entertaining combative team of skilled misfits, a twisty plot, and a nerve-wracking cliffhanger.’
Publishers Weekly, starred review
‘Cracking page-turner with a multiethnic band of misfits with differing sexual orientations who satisfyingly, believably jell into a family.’
Kirkus Reviews, starred review
‘Bardugo outdoes herself with this book, creating the gorgeously built backdrop of Ketterdam and populating it with a sophisticated cast of rogues and criminals. Six of Crows is a twisty and elegantly crafted masterpiece that thrilled me from beginning to end.’
Holly Black
Praise for The Grisha Trilogy
‘A New York Times bestseller, it’s like The Hunger Games meets Potter meets Twilight meets Lord Of The Rings meets Game Of Thrones; basically epic magical fantasy but completely for grown-ups.’
Stylist
‘Unlike anything I’ve ever read.’
Veronica Roth, author of the Divergent trilogy
‘A heady blend of fantasy, romance and adventure.’
Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series
‘Mesmerising … Bardugo’s set up is shiver-inducing, of the delicious variety. This is what fantasy is for.’
New York Times
‘Shadow and Bone was a dark, rich, utterly compelling book that did not let me go from the very first word to the very last. I loved it, loved it, loved it, loved it!’
Guardian Teen
‘This engaging YA adventure takes a different and distinctly Russian approach to epic fantasy … Giving us a convincingly chilly and well-thought-out world as well as a touchingly played romance, Leigh Bardugo’s fantasy is effortlessly readable.’
SFX
‘In this richly-imagined and beautifully-written novel, Leigh Bardugo has created a vivid fantasy world drawing on Russian traditions and folklore. With unexpected twists and turns, and plenty of action and romance, this is a pacy and exciting adventure, but also a multi-layered story of self-discovery, with an intelligent and compelling heroine in Alina.’
