Desperate to earn Kaz’s trust and respect, Jesper, when focused, always got the job done. However, despite his faults, Jesper has always been loyal to the crew. Let’s not forget that his early slip almost had catastrophic consequences to the lives of the crew. Jesper, while skilled with a gun, was an early liability that threatened to expose the secrecy of the mission.

There’s no denying that Nina values the friendship she made in this crew, especially with Inej, but her priority will always be Ravka. Nevertheless, the aftereffects of the Jurda parem also tampered those abilities, making her a liability in the face of a new threat. There’s no doubt, she is a powerful Grisha, and her abilities were essential to their escape from the prison. Her ties largely link to her desire to return to Ravka and bring an end to the war that’s devastated her people. She’s a soldier first, loyal to Ravka and Matthias. Her story largely centred on her relationship with Matthias and Ravka/Fjerda conflict. Her motives in joining this mission were vastly removed from a sense of loyalty to the crew. Nina’s Grisha abilities were valuable if not convenient. Sadly, Matthias’s fate ended in tragedy, but he will always be known for his fierce warrior heart and soft soul, devoted to the one he loves while earning the respect of the crew he once resented. He had every reason to betray the crew, but his heart could not be swayed.

Without her, he’d have likely followed through with his betrayal, remaining loyal to his Drüskelle comrades. His position on this list is not a slight against his character, but the only tether he had to the crew was Nina. Each member presents an invaluable set of skills, but their overall contribution to the crew varied. On paper, it’s a marvel that these characters were able to form such a cohesive unit, but when presented with an abundance of riches and the chance of freedom, they find that they’re not so different from one another. The formation of this crew, masterminded by the shrewd Kaz Brekker, brought together six outsiders that together, make one of the most formidable crews to hit the streets of Ketterdam.

Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows duology introduced readers to a world of elaborate schemes, non-stop action, quiet moments of intimacy, and a slew of morally ambiguous heroes.
