Spoiler
The Crows struggle with gambling addictions, learning and physical disabilities, PTSD, etc.—they are showcased as criminals, and at times untouchable, but are still very much human.
Inej and Kaz might’ve been my favorite couple as they both undergo so much growth as individuals and together as a relationship is unconventional to them. For each other, they slowly tested their limits and showed love in their own personal ways; Kaz changing Inej’s bandages despite his touch aversion, Inej always being near, and my favorite, Kaz reuniting Inej with her parents.
Favorite Quotes:
“I would come for you. And if I couldn’t walk, I’d crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we’d fight our way out together—knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that’s what we do. We never stop fighting.”
“You’re better than waffles, Matthias Helvar.”
“He doesn’t say goodbye. He just lets go.”

🇬🇧: jeez what a book. I haven't been bored at all! It is a big book but I had a hard time putting it down. You also get a good look into the history of the characters and you get why they behave the way they behave. Every character has a emotional story behind them and that got to me! There is not really spice but the romance in this book is chef kisses! It is a slow burn romance but not annoying. I would totally recommend it. I love the different perspectives, that really made a difference
