The Merciful Crow has nearly the exact opposite effect. The action is so breakneck and compelling that I had to wretch myself away.
My main takeaway from Six of Crows is that I could not stop reading. But having finished The Merciful Crow, I can’t in good faith point Grishaverse fans there. Someone mentioned The Merciful Crow and it skyrocketed to the top of my TBR.Īt first glance, the comparison is obvious. And then Shadow and Bonegot turned into a Netflix show and all of a sudden everyone at work was talking about comparison titles. I knew it existed, obviously (I’m a bookseller and YA is my speciality), but it wasn’t one I’d ever picked up or perused or contemplated reading. Margaret Owen’s YA fantasy duology was not on my radar.
The best way to get me to read something is to compare it to Six of Crows. However, it is possible to have a current favorite and right now-in May 2021-my favorite book is Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. When you read as much as I do, and when you’ve had a lifelong love of reading, it’s impossible to have a single, all-time favorite book.
