After watching the tv show I was really interested in this part of the story and characters, and they didn't disappoint at all. I had the books on my shelves for a long time and I finally found the right timming to appreciate them.

Since I already grew fond of them watching on the screen, it was easier to follow everything and appreciate the nuance in each character and story arc. It was enjoyable, especially getting to know more about each characters' backgrounds and wills.

If the screen adaptation sold Kaz and Inej romance with ease because of both actors' incredible work, I was even more invested into their interactions and the slow burn going on in the book. Damn, those final words they exchange... still hitting the right spot. Inej and Nina are my queens, I love them dearly, especially Inej.

The age of the characters is one of the things that makes it quite unbelievable; even just aging them two years could have helped solidify their prodigious nature and talent, but I guess some people will find it cooler if they are that young and proving to be such a threat.

The first few chapters were boring but things really picked up from there. All the POVs were interesting and I enjoyed how the characters worked together. I’m eager to see where the gang goes from here

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.”
