Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo is a gritty YA fantasy heist story. It's got a racing plot, an interesting setting, and amazing characters. In this episode, I analyse the relationship between Kaz and Inej, using Mary Robinette Kowal's 6 relationship axes:

Mind - Both people have similar levels of intelligence.
Money - Both people have similar attitudes about money. They don't both have to have the same amount. This is about what money is for and how it's handled.
Morals - Similar moral compasses of right and wrong.
Manners - Similar senses of what is polite. So it's possible to have the same manners and wildly different morals.
Monogamy - Similar attitudes about the relationship. You know that guy that thinks you are BFFs and you think you're just colleagues?
Marx Brothers - You both find the same things funny.
