i enjoyed this book and the idea of an oceans 11-esque heist. i did find some parts cheesy and also found the swap from enemies to friends/lovers to be a bit lackluster and strange. an example of this is
i actually liked reading about these characters too, unlike most of the characters in the shadow and bone series. i am looking forward to the 2nd part of this duology, and if it is good enough will consider reading king of scars, although i did not find myself enamored with the main character of that when he was in shadow and bone.

I don’t particularly gravitate towards fantasy books but after all the hype I’ve seen this book get I had to check it out for myself. I’m so glad I did because this book is truly for anyone who loves the found family trope and a good heist. Admittedly, the lingo is a bit confusing as first if you haven’t read the Shadow & Bone trilogy but it’s not impossible to understand by any means. I would also say it had a slow start (hence the four stars) but after about 5 chapters you really start to get into it and form a connection with these characters. Overall, this book will make for a delightful reread in the future.
