It's been a good, long while since I read a good epic fantasy, but book one of this series certainly fits the bill. This is the tale of six misfits sent on a seemingly impossible quest to rescue the inventor of a drug that enhances the powers of the Grisha, individuals gifted with extraordinary powers. The group is lead by Kaz, an enigmatic and charismatic criminal genius with a mysterious past and a bright future, if he can just keep from getting himself and his companions killed. Bardugo creates six intriguing characters and a new world that combines magic, legend, and folklore to create a memorable tableau. Yes, this is classified as a teen read, but any lover of epic fantasy will enjoy Kaz and his band of merry men and women, and the ending will leave you reaching for the next book in Bardugo's tale. Happy reading!
