Wow, wow, wow! I thought that I was done with fantasy. I found myself shunning it after reading several fantasy novels and thought maybe it was just something I enjoyed when I was younger. No. This is a wonderful novel!
The character building was fantastic, the word building was fantastic, the storyline was fantastic. This made me enjoy reading again! I immediately purchased the second book and will probably look into Shadow & Bones. All around amazing book.

This book is really popular, and I liked it, but I didn’t love it. It was slow getting into the story, learning about the world and all the characters. The heist was pretty fun and there were definitely some cool moments, but I don’t think this is my favorite kind of story. And I get the premise of racism and subjugation of a people for your own gain, but I don’t understand the longevity of the plan of this drug. They quickly fade and die after using it. What is their long term plan? I also did like the found family vibes and how they all started to trust each other more as the story went on. I kind of wish they wrapped it up in one, instead of setting it up for another book. I don’t want to read that, but I will try to look up spoilers so I can find out what happens.
