One word: Amazing.
Only it was a little unbelievable that the characters were 16 to 18; I kept thinking of them as adults. But it's okay; it's fiction, I guess.
I loved every aspect of this book and cannot wait to read the sequel. Because, damn, the ending.What a cliffhanger.
It started off okay, not that great, but when it started picking up pace, that was the only book I was picking up (forget my textbooks). I loved looking into multiple characters' views, and not just, like, two main ones or something. I loved the dynamic with each of the "crows" especially Kanej and Helnik. Ugh. They are so beautiful. I loved how each story was a branch of a bigger tree and each backstory led to one main plot. It was so beautifully woven together, like, Bardugo did a fantastic job.
Every chapter/POV was just the right amount of words and had the right amount of distinction, so it was such an easy read. I was completely in love with Kaz's POV of course. (I think I have a thing for morally gray MMC).
Now it's time for the sequel :>

I don't like to think that I've outgrown the Young Adult section but this book fell a little flat for me.
The characters would've been more believable if they were a little older, however maybe I just don't remember how much emotional depth a seventeen year old could have.
I found this book a lighter version of The Lies of Locke Lamora which, whilst it was less of a group ensemble, felt a lot more gritty and believable.
I wish I'd posted an update earlier predicting the double cross at the end.
It's not bad, by all means a fun read with likeable characters, just a touch predictable and pale.
