To be honest, Kaz is not really a typical Dutch name (Kas with an 's' is though) - but I rolled with it. You can see that the author spent a lot of hours researching this, as she also did with Russian for the Grisha series, and the hard work pays off. I'm Dutch, so I absolutely loved the Dutch names and references to Dutch stuff ( hutspot!) in Six of Crows. If you aren't Dutch, you should definitely look up the Dutch terms, because often they are very fitting to the story. I'm not sure if someone would fully understand the storyworld if they haven't read the Grisha series, as there are a lot of references to Ravka and the Grisha, which are not fully explained in this book. Bardugo did a great job of creating several new spots in her Grisha world, including the rigid, cold Fjerdan country and its Ice Court, and the dark slums of Ketterdam.
