Notes
- From the series record (Six of Crows Duology): A closed 2-book heist-crew sequence set in the same world one year after the Shadow and Bone trilogy, with light narrative connections (shared world and later crossover appearances) rather than a direct sequel to Alina's story. Registered `duology` (added 2026-08-07) rather than `sequence`, since the author and publisher have consistently treated this as a genuinely closed 2-book set.
Neighbouring works
