It took me awhile to get into it but once I was in I enjoyed the ride! I love a heist plot but I was more invested in the characters development than I was the plot. It felt like everything was going to work out because of course Kaz is going to pull some crazy plan out of his ass at the last second. The stakes were supposed to feel high but they really didn’t to me🤷🏻‍♀️ 

I had the same complaint I’ve seen others have- the age of the characters did not work for me. So many of the characters had intense backstories and pasts with other characters that seems should go back years or decades but oop no that was like 6 months ago because everyone is 16 17 18 years old. I feel the biggest offender is Kaz (I love him tho). I understand he had an extremely traumatic series of events happen to him. But just imagining harden criminal Kaz age 10 becoming a gang leader really took me out of the story. 

Looking past the ages of the characters I really enjoyed going on the job with the dregs gang and am invested in what comes next.

I love this book. Truly got me back into reading, though the Prašina trilogy certainly helped.
The crows are interesting, charming, and funny. I loved the prose - it was descriptive just enough that it never got in the way of the plot but gave me a great idea of how things looked. The backstories of the characters were captivating, the whole beautifully emotional. However,

it ends on a cliffhanger and thus without reading the sequel you'll have no closure and a certain part made me uncomfortable

. However the atmosphere, dialogue, action... it was amazing.

A good read. Slow at the start but you can tell it is to set up the plot. Kaz is so badass. Definitely reading book 2 as the cliffhanger is unbearable. “Because our crime is existing. Our crime is what we are.”
