I liked the concept though, multiple POVs surrounding a high-stakes heist, set 10 years after Darrow succeeds in ending Octavia's rule and liberating the Colours. This sees Darrow believing his own legend and how things cannot truly change in a broken system. I loved Lyria and I look forward to getting to know her better in Dark Age. Lysander's POV felt out of place in the greater scheme of things. And I definitely need more of Volga and Kavax. I also loved Holiday and Theodora essentially playing the secret service. My favourite ladies.
All in all though, this book was a disappointment compared to the original trilogy. It was over-gory, sexist, and an incredibly uncomfortable read with the amount of times the word "wh*re" was thrown around. I also do not understand Pierce Brown's obsession with breasts and general nakedness in this book it was honestly unnecessary.
