I love Cress mainly for the heist in the last section of the book because it's so fast paced and exciting. This is the book where the storylines start to come together, and with Scarlet's chapters, Winter is finally introduced. It's also fun to see how different characters view each other as they all have distinct voices and backgrounds and yet are shoved together.
