Review—Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

I loved Bardugo’s Grisha trilogy, and I was excited to finally read Six of Crows, which takes place in the same “universe” and makes scattered references to the Grisha from that series. My excitement may have been accentuated by the hype surrounding the book, and I am here to say the hype was well-deserved, and I was not disappointed at all.

Shame-Free Reading

Yesterday, Ruth Graham published a post on Slate that infuriated members of the Twitterverse and Blogosophere titled: “Against YA.” No, I am not linking to it here. The subheading was: “Read whatever you want. But you should feel embarrassed when what you’re reading was written for children.”

Well. Really?
