It’s full of thick descriptions of the different settings as well as each of the six main characters. (And if you’ve read the trilogy, lots of little Easter eggs.)”- Leigh Bardugoīardugo’s world building ability is probably one of my favorite things about this book (as well as the others). Yes, there are trilogy spoilers but there are also misdirects. It was built for people new to the Grisha world. “You don’t have to read the Grisha Trilogy to read Six of Crows.

The first installment was her Grisha Trilogy: Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, and Ruin and Rising (all very good books). Six of Crows is the latest installment in Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse. Kaz’s crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction-if they don’t kill each other first. But he can’t pull it off alone…Ī sharpshooter who can’t walk away from a wager.Ī Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums.Ī thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. 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. If you like pirate stories, with heroes, villains, magic, and romance, also read this book. If you like retellings that go more in depth with the character development, that give characters their own backgrounds and their own internal struggles, definitely read Unhooked.

There is a twist I didn’t see coming and it changes everything. When I started reading, about 100 pages in, I tweeted that I was sure my heart was going to break before the story ended, and I was right. The tension between Gwen and the Captain is swoon worthy. And as the story unfolds, truths become complicated, lies destroy. You don’t know who is telling the truth and who is lying. “Since being brought to this world, I’ve come to understand that everything I’ve ever learned about good and evil, about choices we make and the choices we must live with, have been nothing more than convenient fictions invented by those who have never been confronted by the darkness and actually forced to choose.”Īt the beginning, the relationships between Gwen, the Captain, and Pan are very convoluted. The simple act of turning off a light, or signing a paper. It is a deeper look at the decisions a person makes and how those decisions change the course of a person’s life. Maxwell shows that not all “heroes” are good and that not all “villains” are bad. It literally unhooks the classic stories you’ve heard before and spins them on their head. Unhooked is not your traditional Peter Pan/ Captain Hook story.

And what’s great, there is more than one narrative being told. Lisa Maxwell really draws you into the story through her narrative. I am not usually one for Peter Pan and Neverland stories, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to give it a try. So in my searchings, I came across Unhooked. Let me tell you, when searching for good YA pirate books, there aren’t many out there… unless you want Fabio on the cover and then that is NOT a YA book. I finished The Girl From Everywhere and Blackhearts. I couldn’t get it out of my head while I read Unhooked. Listen to Lost Boy by Ruth B while you read this. But will she be able to save Neverland without losing herself? My Review: With time running out and her enemies closing in, Gwen is forced to face the truths she’s been hiding from all along. As Gwen struggles to remember where she came from and find a way home, she must choose between trusting the charming fairy-tale hero who says all the right things and the roguish young pirate who promises to keep her safe. Here, good and evil lose their meaning and memories slip like water through her fingers. The world Gwen finds herself in is called Neverland, yet it’s nothing like the stories. The only saving grace is her best friend, Olivia, who’s coming with them for the summer.īut when Gwen and Olivia are kidnapped by shadowy creatures and taken to a world of flesh-eating sea hags and dangerous Fey, Gwen realizes her mom might have been sane all along. Now these delusions have brought them to London, far from the life Gwen had finally started to build for herself. For as long as she can remember, Gwendolyn Allister has never had a place to call home-all because her mother believes that monsters are hunting them.
