Read this in HS and DNF'ed because I thought it was too slow. Read it again in college and realized I was stupid and teenage heists are cool

So thankful for my book friends for encouraging me to read this! I rarely read fantasy because I find myself often lost in the world-building. That’s why I’m so happy this worked for me and I was so invested in story and the main characters. Now, on to the next book in the duology!

i think i liked this book a lot more than any of the other books in the grisha universe i’ve read so far. 

i enjoyed this book and the idea of an oceans 11-esque heist. i did find some parts cheesy and also found the swap from enemies to friends/lovers to be a bit lackluster and strange. an example of this is

nina and matthias. during the flashbacks that showed to context for the status of the friendship/relationship, i was rooting for them to get together. however, the beginning of their reunion is clearly framed with them hating each other. matthias goes from hating her to loving her with no real action or event taking place, which seemed odd to me if only a few chapters before he tried to kill her and hated her. the same goes for kaz, it seems like he goes from coworkers/acquaintances with inej to loving her out of nowhere. i’m not against these relationships —in fact i love them — but they did seem to happen randomly to me.

i actually liked reading about these characters too, unlike most of the characters in the shadow and bone series. i am looking forward to the 2nd part of this duology, and if it is good enough will consider reading king of scars, although i did not find myself enamored with the main character of that when he was in shadow and bone.

This was thrilling and twisty and unexpectedly hilarious! 

This book hooked me back into the world of fantasy and it made me fall in love with all of these characters.

Could not stop highlighting adorably, tragically romantic quotes all throughout… and jokes. 

Will definitely be reading crooked kingdom too!🖤
