It’s not only 3 pairs of couples doing a heist together, but the book also focus on family and friends, and that’s what I liked. There was different form of love.
The trauma they experienced are sticking with them and influences their behavior, and not just used as a tool to make us empathize with them.
They are all very complete.
If I had to say something « negative », I would say that inej’s trauma is a little overlooked/not detailed, but it is explainable by the fact that the book is YA and it would be too shocking to include explicitly sexual assault scenes.
Moderate: Sexual assault
Minor: Xenophobia and Racism

The story follows a group of (traumatized) criminal teens, who end up trying to pull an impossible heist. The story is set in 18/19 century-ish Ketterdam(which is based on the Netherlands). It can make you cry and laugh in the span of a chapter, while other times you will just sit there in shock thinking “how in the world did Leigh Bardugo even come up with this?!” (In a good way ofc). I would 100% recommend this book! It also dives into some triggering topics though, so be safe and check tws before reading! >:3
