I was kinda worried that with me not having any prior knowledge of the Grishaverse it was going to be hard for me to understand everything. Luckily this wasn't the case!
Where do I even start with this book? I mean, it's 5 stars for a reason!
The setting being based on 1800s Amsterdam was a fun bonus to read as a dutchie along with all the dutch names and phrases that were incorporated into the story. The story is very dark. The crows all have their own kind of traumas despite being barely adults. Luckily, there are still plenty of lighthearted and even funny moments to offset the misery. The banter between the characters was a joy to read and the entire heist on the ice court had me on the edge of my seat until the very end. Now excuse me while I'll go recommend this book to everyone with a heartbeat.
