The Dutch (inspired) names and history were something to get used to - they deterred me because really, it felt a bit cringey. But I am glad I pushed on! Because Leigh Bardugo created a whirlwind of a story, in a wonderful world with characters that relate well to each other and all have their own twists, thoughts, and story. Great use of flashbacks and different POVs which kept the plot moving at great speed - although it was sometimes a bit too rushed and it is a bit uncertain how old the cast are supposed to be.

4.5

Maybe it's a 'it's not you it's me issue' was my first thought when I finished reading the book. And while I agree that the book was good (definitely better than the shadow and bone trilogy) it wasn't the best as all the internet and the world is foreshadowing.

I am one of those people who loves fantasy with a great political background that is going around with our main characters (think the poppy War, she who became the sun, etc) and while I thought I would like a heist story with a cast of misfits I am understanding that maybe I like hiest movies but not heist books I guess? 

All in all I rate this book 4 stars because again it was a good book but maybe I was too hyped up or something?
