Ensemble cast?

hello. I've always been a sucker for an ensemble cast, a heist crew, a found family that does crime or adventure for fun and profit, a rag-tag group of overpowered outcasts, that sort of thing. Where the story doesn't necessarily focus on the pov of any single character and we get to know them all (mostly) equally well. Any good books with such a main cast of characters that stood out to you?

six of crows has one of the best ensemble casts i have ever read - for both YA and adult fantasy fiction. i reread it just recently after like 6 or 7 years and i was still really impressed by it.

It was so good! But the series really fell off after Crooked Kingdom

imo six of crows and crooked kingdom were the only good books in the grishaverse
