I'm a sucker for the found family trope.
Although I am not a sucher for the 'dark and closed off due to a traumatic childhood male protagonist' trope.
Still an amazing book.

Epic fantasy heist novel with the most incredible cast of charaters that hold their stance all over the alignment chart. There's fun, there's banter and there is beautiful and dramatic inner monologues and snappy one-liners. You get to dive into most of the characters' inner lives and it's incredible how well they are seperated from each other, and how each character can have a different perception of each of the others in their group. Each dynamic is unique and is reflected in their views of each other.

The development of these characters especially kaz and inej is beautiful and well written. 

With this book it just hook's you in from to the different perspectives to Leigh Bardugo's writing. It's got everything you would want and relatable character's I felt solace in.

Definitely recommend. :)

Für alle Fantasy-Liebhaber*innen das perfekte Buch. Es ist echt toll geschrieben und super spannend. Die Welt ist auch echt toll aufgebaut. Die Autorin hat mich mit der Krähenreihe echt nochmal umgehauen. Es fallen mir nur wenige Kritikpunkte ein: 1. Warum können die Charaktere nicht ein bisschen älter sein ? Bei Wylan und vlt auch noch Jesper kann ich verstehen warum sie so jung sind. Aber Kaz und Inej als 17-jährige ist manchmal unangenehm. Da beide ziemlich klatblütige Mörder*innen sind. 
2. Der andere Punkt (und dafür kann die Autorin nichts) ist das die Übersetzung and machen Stellen nicht ganz perfekt war. Aber das war auch schon meckern auf höchstem Niveau. 
3. Das Ende ging ein bisschen schnell. Aber dafür freue ich mich jetzt auf Band 2 😍
