These mittens are an ode to my favorite duology, Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo. If you love world-building, high -stakes heist, intricate plots, lots of suspense and action, this duology set in the Grishaverse is PERFECT for you! It is a masterpiece, full of rich details, twists and turns, unexpected outcomes, and you will fall in love with every single “crow.”
