I’ve recommended The Gilded Wolves as a book you might like if you liked Six of Crows. I have to start with the book that caused massive controversy for not being Six of Crows, but also being too similar to Six of Crows. Despite this list being only 6 books long, I’ve split them up into these categories. These can pretty much fit into two categories: multiple POV and have ‘crow’ in the title. So I’ve compiled a short list of books I’ve read that aren’t Six of Crows, but have been compared to Six of Crows. This frustrates me because a lot of these books are nothing like Six of Crows. In our search to find a book that is exactly like Six of Crows (but not exactly like Six of Crows because then it’s a “cheep knockoff of Six of Crows”, even if it was published/ written before Six of Crows was published), we are harming completely unrelated books by setting people up to expect Six of Crows when the books are about different things. There are so many books where the top reviews on Goodreads are along the lines of “Because of Six of Crows, I’ll read anything with ‘crow’ in the title”. And this isn’t new and doesn’t pertain to only this Goodreads friend. One day, one of my Goodreads friends had a review for a book completely unrelated to Six of Crows, upset that it wasn’t like Six of Crows. I like to read those daily updates from your Goodreads friends emails because I never check my feed on there.

When I came up with the idea for this post a month ago I was feeling really annoyed.
