The characters are wonderfully complex and (mostly) lovable and Bardugo has managed to capture the fun of a heist whilst keeping us on our toes with twists and turns.
Additionally, there is great disability representation. With the disabled characters being portrayed far beyond their disability and without disability being used as something to be 'overcome', forgotten at key moments, or inspiration porn. It just is, just as we disabled folks just are.
10/10 a must-read for fantasy lovers!

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.
