This book is everything! It keeps you turning pages because the plot is amazingly fast-paced while the characters are also very much the catalyzers. This story has both an engaging plot and complex characters with intriguing dynamics. It has fantasy, romance, comedy elements, action and so much more! Not only that, but the cast of main characters is very diverse (sexuality, religion and ethnicity albeit fantastical).

The backstories are going to make you cry. Also the ones in crooked kingdom.

THIS BOOK i truly can’t deal with myself it had me laughing and speechless and falling in love with the characters the entire time, it definitely exceeded my expectations

the characters and plot are both AMAZING and i’m completely out of words, every chapter had me in shock there was rarely ever a dull moment and the different povs every chapter really keep you on edge, it is slow in the beginning but once everything is laid out it goes really fast, i could seriously talk about this book forever but i’ll leave it at this

i cannot explain to you how good it is please read it you won’t regret it

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE BOOK EVER! I adore this book, the flawed but very loveable main characters, the plot, the entire world, even their really dodgy Amsterdam-inspired city, and I recommend it to everybody, it's literally amazing
