my favourite book and my comfort book I LOVE ALL THE CHARACTERS SO MUCH you just wait IT GETS EVEN BETTER IN CROOKED KINGDOM.
Bardugo's writing is great and she builds a wonderful world that mixes magic and truths about the world we live in. She also creates an amazing cast of characters who are all so different and yet have something to fight for together as the bond, fight and help each other discover who they truly are.

I was personally instantly hooked within the first few chapters, where there were already captivating plot-twists and interesting world building that had me hungry for more, and the whole book pulls you in and makes you fall in love with the characters, and the world they live in! I think it has a good balance of plot and character, with interesting backstories that change how you view their positions, and make you see their actions and thought-processes differently. The characters are very lovable, and there is no 1 protagonist, as we see the story unfold from 5 very different points of view, through the lenses of different culture and backgrounds and also different traumatic experiences.

Absolutely fantastic. I wish I had the option to give a higher rating. I read this book a few years ago and still whenever someone asks me for a book recommendation this is the top of my list.

I absolutely love this book. I reread it fir the second time and it was still interesting. The characters and their love was so entertaining. The POVs of characters were not  as confusing except no matter how may times I read the actual heist i can not pin point the location or anything for that fact. But I loved the book. The whole vibe the characters, however i usually forget that these are kids my age.
