I picked up this duology after binging the Netflix series in a couple days. I really liked the characters from this duology, and I wanted to see how their story differed from the show (it combines the Shadow and Bone trilogy with Six of Crows, so the book and show don't align).
I never knew that I wanted to read an "Ocean's 11 but with fantasy and magic" type of book, but now I want more! The characters are even better in book form and the chapters swap between their perspectives, giving you a more in-depth understanding of who they are. The story is filled with clever schemes, thievery, romance, and moments where the characters seem truly trapped and have to pull something out of their pocket to escape. Never a dull moment with these characters.
The sequel picks up right where this book leaves off, keeping the tension going as the characters navigate the trouble they keep attracting. The only thing I hate about this book is that it ends!
If you're looking for a good fantasy series with protagonists that you can't help but root for, this book series is for you. 5/5

Dit boek zat vol spanning en was heel goed in het zetten van de toon. Er waren veel karakters, dus het was even schakelen wie wat deed. De flashbacks waren goed geschreven en voelde niet onnodig of irritant aan.
Het duurde een tijd voordat ik me een beetje hechtte aan de karakters, maar dat is uiteindelijk gelukt en ik ben heel benieuwd naar het tweede deel.

Look overall its a great story but took a while to get into. I liked the relationships and the characters are complex but the ending felt disappointing, all just setting up for the next book which i cbs reading so i wanted things to be tidier. Clever story line and unpredictable but some bits dragged.
