#151 - Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo (with Clare Blackwood)

Tune in as actor, writer, and comedian Clare Blackwood hops onto 2CC for a review and recap of Six of Crows, the 2015 YA novel by Leigh Bardugo that brims with heists, ruthless criminals, and the fantasy worldbuilding of the Grishaverse. Talking points for this bookish episode include the love that the podcasters have for all these morally gray rogues, the teenage ensemble coming across like adults, and Matthias being so damn mean to Nina at first.
