I went into Six of Crows with pretty normal expectations and it surprised me. There are a few scenes that genuinely hit emotionally. A couple of sections could have been trimmed without losing anything. Overall, I’d recommend it to the right reader.

Mixed feelings: A Day of Fallen Night
★★★☆☆
on A Day of Fallen Night
A Day of Fallen Night has a strong core idea — the execution mostly works. Characters feel distinct, and the dialogue reads naturally. The ending resolves fast compared to how much it builds up. If you’re on the fence, try a sample — you’ll know quickly.

There’s a specific turning point late in the book that changes the tone hard — that moment will make or break it for you. Overall, I’d recommend it to the right reader.
