This is one of my favorite books. There’s lots of action and is fast paced. Each character has their own flaws, but it’s not focused on pointing the flaws out.

LOVED IT OMG i will say it didn’t get a full 5 stars because i was kinda lost or confused quite a bit. i thought the characters were all interesting in their own way and enjoyed how they all interacted with each other. i found the s&b trilogy to have rather stale characters but this one is quite the opposite almost everyone has a pretty fleshed out backstory and personality. the story melds really well into the universe built by the s&b trilogy while also being solid as a stand alone story. 

tldr; loved the characters and their antics :)

Hands down my favourite book I’ve read this year!
I read the first chapter of this at least 4 times before I got in to it. But once I’d read the Shadow and Bone trilogy (which all and all disappointed me in lack of likeable characters), this was much easier to dive in to. Kaz is the morally grey fictional boy I can’t help but to love, and Nina and Matthias are the enemies to lovers I needed. The heist is confusing, but you go along with the ride, rooting for these characters.
