Frequently Asked Questions
What should I read immediately after Six of Crows?
Crooked Kingdom — the direct sequel. Don't wait. Then The Lies of Locke Lamora for the adult fantasy equivalent.
Are there books with the same ensemble cast energy as Six of Crows?
The Lies of Locke Lamora has a wonderful core crew. Mistborn: The Final Empire has a strong ensemble. The Ocean's Eleven of fantasy doesn't really exist yet — Bardugo is the best.
What's the best series for a Six of Crows fan who wants adult fantasy?
The Gentleman Bastards series (starting with Lies of Locke Lamora) is the consensus recommendation. It's darker, funnier, and more morally complex.
Is there anything like Six of Crows that's complete?
Mistborn Era 1 is complete (3 books). The Six of Crows duology itself is complete. The Gentleman Bastards is ongoing but the first two books work together.
