This book was decent, but I wasn't really gripped by the story. It was so, so similar in a lot of ways to Six of Crows, but I didn't feel that the stakes were as high. The characters lacked emotional depth for me, so I didn't feel connected to them during emotionally charged moments.
There were a few good twists and turns that I honestly didn't coming, although retrospectively I definitely should have. Overall, I think this series has promise, but I'm not sure I'm going to continue with it.
