THERE'S that Six of Crows energy. Warning: cliffhanger!!
Loved the switching POV (very effective esp for pacing!), the heist-y details, the fuck colonialism worldbuilding, and the filled-out side characters. Honestly the pacing was EXCELLENT, and the different sections worked super well for me. I'd have loved to spend more time with Spindrift, like in the tea house, but I can see how that could have gotten in the way of the tight plotting.
