This story sucked me in, and I binge-read it in one day. The characters were compelling and three-dimensional, and despite their morality lingering in various shades of gray, I still found myself rooting for them. Or maybe I was drawn to them BECAUSE they weren't perfectly good heroes. They felt real and complex.

As for the plot, it was engaging and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entirety of the book. The only criticism I have is that sometimes it felt like it relied too much on Kaz's ability to plan several steps ahead to get them out of seemingly impossible positions. Perhaps in a reread I might discover that there was more foreshadowing, but in my first read it took away some of the stakes. By the end of the book, any danger they were in wasn't as convincing because I assumed Kaz would present a solution at the last second. Despite this, however, my love for the characters more than made up for this shortcoming and I plowed through until the very end, still wanting more. (And luckily there is another book!)

5.0

There is a lot of the darker side of the human experience covered in this book, and it can be gruesome at times.

It also tells stories of overcoming that violence and trauma without diminishing the fact that damage has been done and is not wiped away forever in a state of "having recovered".

I loved the well-written and very subtle foreshadowing carefully laced throughout the story with tremendous pay-off.

Slavery, prostitution, and human trafficking are very prominent aspects of the society the story takes place in.

Several characters face their abusers and are at times unable to keep themselves safe from them.
