Really enjoyed the humorous, Pratchett-esque tone straight from the start. The characters are immediately likeable and their various schemes draw you through the book and keep you wondering who really holds power over whom.

I have been meaning to read this for a while and FINALLY got around to it and...why did I not read it sooner?? The book was phenomenal! The world building was absolutely top notch. The characters were great and I actually found myself wanting to stay up to read it!

This is my favorite book. That said, I can't stand here and tell you it is flawless. As some other reviews have stated, there is a distinct lack of characters that are both women and are either alive or have any agency, despite the author making it clear that the devilish underground of Camorr is very evenly split among genders. The main cast is loveable, and in my opinion, believably flawed. I won't say their luck isn't a bit unbelievable, but I suppose that when you have the god of thieves on your side, anything is possible. I would recommend this to people who enjoy worldbuilding, lengthy descriptions of clothing, heists, being sad, alchemy, and a sprinkle of magic.
