Revue de presse :

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 on The Grisha Trilogy)

Fast, thrilling heist fantasy, boasting a brilliant new cast of characters (Metro 2015-11-30)

Unlike anything I've ever read (Veronica Roth, author of the Divergent trilogy on The Grisha Trilogy)

This is basically Ocean's Eleven set in a Game of Thrones-esque world, following a young criminal mastermind tasked with breaking into an unbreachable building and freeing a hostage to win vast wealth. The result is a pacey read with electric prose and well-drawn characters ...electric prose (The Independent 2015-11-13)

SIX OF CROWS is a twisty and elegantly crafted masterpiece that thrilled me from beginning to end (Holly Black, author of THE DARKEST PART OF THE FOREST)

Cracking page-turner with a multi-ethnic band of misfits with differing sexual orientations who satisfyingly, believably jell into a family (KIRKUS REVIEWS)

Part original fantasy, part adrenaline fuelled heist, and with just enough romance to keep things interesting, Six of Crows is impossible to put down. Bardugo is a master at an ensemble cast, and it is a joy to see her wonderfully crafted characters come to life and how they all work together. Each one has their own interesting backstory and complex relationships with one another. The fantastic plot is fast moving and full of twists and turns, but it is the fate of the characters that really draws the reader in. Bardugo has an incredible imagination and Six of Crows showcases her writing at its very best. (BOOKTRUST 2015-09-30)

a fitting and brilliantly crafted conclusion to the Grisha trilogy, one that fans will be sighing over happily for years to come (Spec on Spec Fic 2014-07-21)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Game of Thrones meets Ocean's Eleven in this brand new fantasy epic from the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of SHADOW AND BONE, SIEGE AND STORM and RUIN AND RISING, Leigh Bardugo.

Criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker has been offered wealth beyond his wildest dreams. But to claim it, he'll have to pull off a seemingly impossible heist:

Break into the notorious Ice Court (a military stronghold that has never been breached)

Retrieve a hostage (who could unleash magical havoc on the world)

Survive long enough to collect his reward (and spend it)

Kaz needs a crew desperate enough to take on this suicide mission and dangerous enough to get the job done - and he knows exactly who: six of the deadliest outcasts the city has to offer.

Together, they just might be unstoppable - if they don't kill each other first.

Leigh Bardugo's writing has captivated readers since SHADOW AND BONE was published in 2012. SIX OF CROWS will take Leigh's fans back into the world they know and love.
