Honestly, I found the whole “blackface” as a main plot point- to be both racially insensitive & completely unnecessary. It completely ruined the book for me, and made me resent reading this book. 

Having finished this Duology I find I have more criticisms than compliments. For this particular genre & themes explored, it gets a solid C- at best. It’s not something I will be recommending.

EVERYONE STOP WHAT UR DOING A READ THIS DUOLOGY!!!
I MEAN IT!!

It's perfect example of good fantasy, perfect characters, perfect world building, perfect romance, perfect conflicts/ conflict resolutions, just PERFECT.

Kazi is the best character ever written, she went through so much and never gave up despite nearly everyone working against her. and she's so smart!!! I love her and I want to read more books with thief main characters, I love thieving.

Also, I really appreciated that the miscommunication/ misunderstanding trope wasn't a major part of the plot. No spoilers, but when the conflict was set up, I immediately expected there to be big misunderstandings between Kazi and Jase (which would've really sucked given how good they are together), but Pearson must've known I was scared of that because she completely steered clear of that trope! I love her <3

That's all, go read this now!!!!
