It's brilliant how Leigh Bardugo made the main character such an ass and yet he is still sympathetic and even lovable

Third read and still one of my all time favorite books. The world building is incredible and smoothly integrated, as are the flashbacks/background for all the characters. I absolutely love the diversity in this book, the strongly built characters, and how fantastically well written they are. Even as a reread, the plot is thrilling and the twists and turns are still exciting. The found family aspect of a ragtag group of teens who couldn't be any more different from each other is so heartwarming. I could sing this book's praises for ages. There are many darker themes, so check your trigger warnings, but it is absolutely worth it in my opinion.
