It has its issues for sure (the fixation on beauty really annoyed me, for example), but I guess I haven't read enough in this genre to be too bothered about the generic YA fantasy tropes / plot, so I'm not even going to pretend I didn't enjoy this. This was fun? And I'm going to read the second book in the series and watch the adaptation!

I think this is a great introduction into this world, and there's a lot of information in here that I wish I would have known reading Six of Crows. Plus, with the way that it ended, I need to know what happens next. Good thing I checked out all three from the library!
