When not writing, he wrangles computers, paints tiny soldiers, and plays games of all sorts.One of his favorite YA sci-fi & fantasy novels, as shared at Tor.com:
Six of Crows, Leigh BardugoRead about the other entries on the list.
I was a big fan of Leigh Bardugo’s original Grisha trilogy, with its Russian aesthetic and fascinating magic, but Six of Crows and The Crooked Kingdom really raised the bar. Six of Crows manages to pack in a fascinating cast, an amazing city that feels real, and a lot of wonderful character moments and still have room for a pulse-pounding magical heist. I loved every minute of both of these.
