Admin's Pick: Six of Crows

By Morpheus


This week's Admin's Pick is Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, a story of six rebels drawn together to take on the heist of a lifetime and gain freedom from their respective captors; that is if they can survive the frost and blight that awaits them in Fjerda's Ice Court.

Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price―and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can't pull it off alone. . . . 

A convict with a thirst for revenge.

A sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager.

A runaway with a privileged past.

A spy known as the Wraith.

A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums.
 
A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. 

Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz's crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction―if they don't kill each other first.

After a sudden incident that takes the Merchant Council by storm, Kaz and his crew are hired to venture to the cold of Fjerda, a land governed by an iron fist and the spite of the Druskelle. Their goal is to find the creator of an extremely potent narcotic and kill him before he can provide the Fjerdan's with further council against the Grisha; Ravka's Second Army.

One of the newest Imprints under the Disney-Hyperion family of Hachette is that of Rick Riordan Presents , a publishing company that started in 2017 and promoted by Rick Riordan. Disney had originally proposed a similar concept to Riordan and his editor, Stephanie Lurie, years previous, however, he had declined the offer as he was busy writing and planning multiple series of his own at the time and would be unable to properly oversee and promote an Imprint.  The goal of this imprint is to create at minimum four books per year from different authors and backgrounds and expand upon the stories of myth and folklore that are available to middle-grade readers and particularly fans of Riordan's work. As of now, the Imprint has published 10 novels by various authors, with at minimum another 8 to be published by mid-2022.      "Over the years, I’ve gotten many questions from my fans about whether I might write about various world mythologies, but in most cases, I kne...
