Since 2015, Leigh Bardugo’s highly popular “Six of Crows” has taken the world of YA literature by storm. The complex fantasy setting, thoughtfully structured magic system and deliciously morally gray characters all collide in a world you won’t want to leave.
Bardugo will visit the New Orleans Public Library via Zoom on Oct. 9 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. to discuss her bestselling series.
