This is going to be a long one so make yourself a cuppa, grab some snacks, and get comfy. As you can see from the title, this is my review of Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. I originally filmed a video review of this and uploaded it to YouTube, but it's probably going to stay private for the rest of eternity. I wanted to upload the video, but honestly as stupid as it sounds I'm legit scared of making it live. So instead, I'm transcribing the video here for a false sense of security. I have my reasons for doing this, some of you even know them. (I made some gifs from the video, so I'll be putting some of them in here instead.)
Disclaimer: some people might consider this review to contain mild spoilers, so read at your own risk.
I first read Thirteen Reasons Why back in 2010. It was a 5 star read for me then, and it was still a 5 star read for me now. I have, however, formed a lot of different opinions this time round. But before I get into my thoughts, I first want to go over what extras the 10th anniversary edition has because a lot of people have asked me about this already. The anniversary edition comes included with the story (of course), an introductory chapter from the author, deleted scenes, and the original intended ending, among other things like what the first draft was titled, the pitch to the editors, and his notes for when he wrote the story. They were all really nice to have a read through.
