l have never felt so utterly transported into a universe, like I literally felt like I was alongside the characters throughout the heist. Like, I’m glad I wasn’t because I’d definitely die, but it was still fun. 

THE CHARACTERS. I JUST LOVED THEM SO MUCH. They’re so well developed and have the best personalities. I genuinely wish they were real.

This book took a while to get me hooked, but once I was hooked, I WAS HOOKED. The characters make this book. It’s hard to pick a favorite character. I can’t wait to read the next one.

I loved this book, it took a couple chapters to acclimate to the writing style but it was worth it. I loved the characters especially Jesper and Kaz. The relationships in this book were immaculate and I LOVED the found family aspect of the book. I also thought that the magic system was pretty interesting.

A lot of the content warnings occur in flashbacks to the characters’ childhoods, so most of the violence and abuse is happening to children under the age of 15. Please keep that in mind before reading it. It’s an amazing book, but it could be very triggering.
