I enjoyed this book even more than the Six of Crows, both because of the insight into how young and fallible the characters were and to see the characters develop and grow as they went along.
I did find some of the plot-twists becoming predictable and found some of the writing tactics used to keep the reader in the dark both a little lazy and once purposely misleading which was frustrating.
