I absolutely adored this book!! The plot was intense and interesting, the world building was excellent, but the characters were what really made this book shine. Each of the characters are complex individuals with interesting backstories and the dynamics between each of the different main 6 characters are very fun and different. The main cast of characters are incredibly diverse, with two of the characters having disabilities (Kaz has a bad leg that he uses a cane for and Wylan has dyslexia), two people of colour (Jesper is half-Zemeni and Inej is Suli), two characters with ptsd (Inej and Kaz), two characters struggling with addiction (Jesper has an addiction to gambling and

Nina becomes addicted to Jurda Parem

), three characters who are LGBTQ+ (Nina and Jesper are bisexual and Wylan is gay), a character who is very religious (Inej), a well-portrayed fat character (Nina) and two incredibly well written female characters (Inej and Nina), and that is not even mentioning how complex and interesting these characters are. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

A gripping and well written heist book that shows multiple point of views from six well developed characters. These characters who are all so different yet come together and find a community and later on a family.

“Joost had two problems: the moon and his mustache.” pg 1

Plus sized, disability, mental illness, queer, and poc rep? *starry eyed emoji* yes pleaseeee!!
Loved the relationships between the characters. Inej and Nina are such bad*sses. 
I thought the pacing was nice and kept my attention. The world building is confusing which is why I read Shadow and Bone first.
