An absolutely awesome read! After years of grad school readings then a year of non-fiction, this book brought back that feeling of wanting to devour a story.
The characters are wonderfully complex and (mostly) lovable and Bardugo has managed to capture the fun of a heist whilst keeping us on our toes with twists and turns.
Additionally, there is great disability representation. With the disabled characters being portrayed far beyond their disability and without disability being used as something to be 'overcome', forgotten at key moments, or inspiration porn. It just is, just as we disabled folks just are.
10/10 a must-read for fantasy lovers!
