The relationships in this book are so well done, the dramatic tension is so high and the last section had me in tears! I was rooting for everyone and was still surprised when everything came together the way it did.

For one of the final scenes there is shooting into a crowd

but it is one shot done by a person who will only hit one intended target for the heist to go off

. There is also a plague,

though it is also manufactured and doesn't harm people, but causes most of the city to go into confinement

.

This was such a good book! Really felt like I knew all the characters and was totally immersed in the world.

Matthias did not deserve to die as he did and I cried when he was shot :/
