I literally just write 2 paragraphs worth of a review and accidentally deleted all of it….:(. Excuse me if this feels less exclusive. Anyway onto the review.
First of all, it took me 3 separate tries and 2 years to get into the book, before I finished it fully, and I am so glad that I did! Following along the journey of these 6 great characters made me so happy, sad, proud, mad, betrayed, empowered, lost, found, amazed, horrified, appalled, terrified, resentful and hopeful. I really liked the way the characters were written with each unique set of skills, quirks, and setbacks. I loved experiencing each characters story(poor Kaz, that was rough) and following their quest(or should I say heist :) ). 
The plot was intriguing and sometimes predictable and sometimes breath-takingly surprising. It was the perfect mix of both. I really loved the mission our characters were on and it kept me interested all the way through. I also loved the representation this book offered(people with disabilities, trauma, mental health problems, gambling addiction, more trauma, abuse, POC, PTSD, and maybe LGBTQ kinda, maybe?). It was a beautiful story and will definitely read the next book in the series.

The author is able to create such a vibrant world with little descriptive language, which is something I very much enjoy. The world is so creative, rich and unique. The characters feel so real. Also with a thrilling plotline! This book is an achievement

I absolutely adore this book and its characters. A read I keep coming back to reread and reread, the worldbuilding of Bardugo and her writing is so beautiful. I fell in love with her world and her characters, and you will too. Five stars. (But do be mindful of the content warnings!)
