Have you read Six of Crows? It is a 'duology' (i.e. two books, not three) by Leigh Bardugo. The books are sort-of sequels to The Grisha series. Six of Crows, the first book, is set in a city called Ketterdam (fictional) and is about a thief called Kaz who leads a gang called the Dregs. Kaz is kind of evil and pretty scary, but he's only a teenager and he does have a heart. There are tons of people in Ketterdam, who work as servants, called Grisha. They all have magical powers (for example controlling water) and are kind of like walking fairies. Anyway, Kaz finds out about a weird problem - someone has created a drug which makes Grisha's powers escalate so that they can do crazy magical things or kill people. It turns out that the scientist who made the drug has been kidnapped and is being held in the Ice Court (basically a castle). Kaz is asked by a Ketterdam merchant to find a crew and get into the castle in order to rescue the poor scientist so that they can destroy the drug.
These books are AMAZING. We highly recommend them. They are really well-written and beautiful, and you can't put them down. (FYI: The second book is called Crooked Kingdom, and as far as our information tells us, you can find the books in the library.)
Thanks for reading our recommendation!
