Life is pain. The Princess Bride was at least right when it comes to THIS BOOK. Goodness these characters were put through the wringer in this one! And that ending!? Basically I am not okay. I need a "Matthew Fairchild deserves better" support group please. And to have more of Thomas in the story. AND POOR CORDELIA I can't. Anyways. I will basically not be able to write a cohesive review so this is what you get. Officially converted to adoring the entire Merry Thieves group and outliers.

The cliffhanger!!!! So much angst! All I know is I want everyone to be happy and no one to die, is that too much to ask?

Ughh the ending. I need to read the next book now but it doesn’t come out for another 6 months 😭 
I love these characters. They’re so sweet and funny and supportive of each other. 
The slowburn, will they won’t they, between James & Daisy was almost painful but they were still so sweet together. 
Can’t wait for the last book in the series.
