I can’t believe my thoughts on this book has changed so much in two years. I don’t know why I loved it so much when I struggled to love the characters this time. They just seemed artificial- like a poor copy rather than real life. I wasn’t gripped by the storyline either. But I reread this because I wanted to read the sequel. Less tempted to do so now, but will continue on anyway because I hate not knowing what happens next

This one was a 3 star read for me. I didn't love it, but I enjoyed it. The magical system is interesting, and it worked well in the context of the story. The story is told at a breakneck pace, and although I usually like fast-paced books, the plot felt a bit rushed at times.
I didn't feel much of a connection to the characters. I was mildly invested in Wesley and Tavia's will they won't they vibe, but I found the other two characters, Karam and Saxony, less interesting (although I appreciated the LGBT+ representation).
Into the Crooked Place falls into the gangster fantasy category, and it's a bit derivative of Six of Crows. It's fairly entertaining, but it doesn't break any new ground.

It was rrying to be like a Six Of Crows but failed. The ending was the only good part. Took me over 2 years to finish this book.

So, to be inspired by other books is not a problem. I mean I've read a ton and could see glimpses.
When I heard about this book looking a bit like Six of Crows I was excited. But to read not glimpses but big flashes of the inspiration made me sad. I did love the idea of the world, but the characters are very much similar to SOC with some small differences.
