ruthannejoy's review against another edition

5.0

Fantastic. I read the thing in one sitting and couldn't put it down. By 1 am, I was about 75% of the way through, and knew there was no turning back. The last quarter of the book, if not more of it, is a complete page turner, with the action building and twisting in delightfully complex ways. The action is so well written! And the style of each chapter told from a different character's perspective is masterfully done. It wasn't until the last chapter that I even consciously realized they were told in third person, because the narration was so personal and pulled me in so intimately, I felt like I was the first person character.

A good read. Slow at the start but you can tell it is to set up the plot. Kaz is so badass. Definitely reading book 2 as the cliffhanger is unbearable. “Because our crime is existing. Our crime is what we are.”

I really enjoyed this book. It was fast paced, intriguing & exciting to read. It felt similar to Pirates of the Caribbean, a crew of unlikely companions lead by an unlikely (but capable) leader. 

Each character is flawed but in a very human way. You come to love every one of them & all their flaws. 

The twists & turns keep you on your toes.  Somehow they don’t feel impossible despite how unbelievable they are.
