I needed more time to immerse myself into this book than I did with Six of Crows, probably because the characters relationships which are the greatest aspect for me only came into the focus some pages in. But then it was an entertaining read with a lot of complicated schemes and schemes within schemes, beautiful characters developments and scenes at the end that put me close to tears.
