Absolutely loved this book. The writing was great and the characters were all intriguing. I enjoyed all the different POV’s (obviously I have favourites but I didn’t dislike any of them!). 
I am so excited to read the next book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

OMG Six of Crows is incredible! I don't know why it took me so long to read it, but I'm glad I finally did. The character dynamics are so messy and fun; the heist keeps you on the edge of your seat; the worldbuilding is thorough (and you can see the cultural differences through the eyes of various characters). I can't wait to read the sequel!

I love Jesper so much he is like a blorbo to me.
