thank you to penguin teen for my arc!
2/5 stars
I had high hopes for this book based off of what it’s compared to but in terms of Six of Crows, the portion is only there close to the end, almost 70% of the way through and HTGAWM is almost non-existent.
I do think that there is a lot of potential with this series and this book, the characters are compelling and I was invested in the world building and the mystery. Unfortunately, the pacing wasn’t it. It was definitely slow-paced to say the least, but we don’t necessarily pass the synopsis until about 68% of the way through and it also doesn’t pick up until that point either. For a book with so much world building, I still felt like I was missing a lot of information by the end.
