I started reading in the mornings and that helps me to read more so i finally finished it.
I liked the setting and the story so much more than the shadow and bone series, however reading the series back-to-back I'm starting to be tired of this world and kinda cannot wait to go back to some other worlds and stories. Luckily I only have one more book ahead of me.

Okay, I get the hype. This was fun, each of the characters was engaging and I had a hard time putting it down. I think I was expecting a bit more family in this book regularly touted as "found family," but I liked the gang being a close-knit crew of friends.
