3.0

I recommend this book if you like:
-NA fantasy
-multiple POV
-plot based, impossible mission

I found this book slow at the start but I understand the need to set up characters, world building and then explain fantasy elements and what the characters do now and their past.

Kaz and his team have been tasked with a near impossible mission by the council. Break into the ice court and steal the man responsible for the recipe of Parem Jurda who's currently held captive in Ferdja.

Kaz and his mismatched team include Inej who he has a thing for, Nina the heartrender and Matthias the Ferdjan, along with Jesper and Wylan.

They somehow pull off a plan that gets them arrested and inside the ice court, then they escape and climb out the incinerator shoot.

They managed to complete the heist and then at the end, Kaz discovers it was not the council requesting this at all, he was duped. Inej gets stolen as leverage so Kaz and crew will hand over the scientist.

Kaz enlists Pekka Rollins, his arch enemy for help as Kaz saved his life and helped him escape the ice court. Pekka isn't aware but when Kaz first came to the Barrel he duped Kaz and his brother of their life savings.

Looking forward to seeing how it unfolds in book 2.
