A welcomed YA fantasy book which was described to me as a mix of game of thrones and a heist. A group of 6 teens, who work in the underbelly of the city, are brought together to perform the impossible - break out a prisoner from the Ice Court.
This was an incredibly easy read, filled with personal and romantic drama - I didn’t want to put it down! Various degrees of romantic pining are touched upon throughout. A lot of the characters and the reader are left in the dark about the heist details, I loved the thrill of guessing and being delightfully wrong.
The only thing that pulled me out of the story was… are they really all 17 years old?
I am ordering the next one
