both more and less enjoyable than six of crows in that the structure and storytelling weakened and some parts felt drawn out, repetitive, or were included just because without really contributing to the overall story (back to structure). but when it was good it was SO GOOD!!! i loved the characters and their dynamics, and plot issues aside, getting more of each of them was a delight

***4.5 because it was really good, but I don’t think I loved it as much as I did Six of Crows. Honestly, M’s death felt ??? random (though I loved that she added his perspective in the following chapter).

I honestly preferred this duology over Shadow and Bone trilogy <3
