At the beginning I was having a hard time with all the different characters, but after about 20% I had it down. I did think that the beginning was a little slow, but it was the buildup we needed for such a good book. Sometimes books are just slow, but this book was slow at the beginning because it had to buildup. Once I got into the book like right after the 20% mark, I finished it all in one day. I couldn't put it down. I just had to know what was going to happen next.
Normally in books there is one charcter that I love. If you know me this will come to no surprise whatsoever, but Kaz was my favorite character. The thing with multiple POV's is that normallly I only like 1-2 characters and don't really care about the rest. This book however, I was interested in all the characters POV's and what was happening with then during this huge heist.
I have never read a book like this "in the villans POV" if you will. They aren't villains as much ans they are crimnals but still, I have never really read books in a POV like this. If I have read a book in a POV of a qeastionable character normally in the POV they aren't doing their qeastionalbe thing. If that makes sense, I have read books in like a POV of drug dealers, but they we never dealing drugs while I was reading their POV. So yeah, that was a little different for me but not in a bad way.
I would say when it comes to ships, I have the typical ships that is seems the author is trying to push. Although
I am so ready to start the second book. I am jumping out of my skin just thinking about what could happen in the second book.

with this book, however, i was all in. i find that i really enjoy multiple povs and these were paced extremely well, managing to intersperse wonderful amounts of interpersonal and persona development with just enough mystery to keep me on my toes as a reader. one thing ive always liked about bardugo's writing is that her characters miss just enough to keep me interested -- as in theyre competent enough that i dont get frustrated but theyre also not complete know-it-alls that make the story boring.
full honesty, i docked half a star because i definitely saw the ending coming in a vague fashion, and the way it unfolded bugged me lol, but character development i guess? something for a sequel? and full full honesty?? no kissing smh smh but damn do i love emotional intimacy
