4.5

I love this book. I loved the first book (six of crows). The only reason I’m giving it a 4.5 instead of a 5.0 it’s because there’s a death that I feel is just for shock value and wasn’t necessary. 

Other than that this book was wonderful in the character development was wonderful. There’s a lot of dark themes about this book and I really enjoyed seeing the parallels to modern day capitalism

5.0

Even better than the first book! I absolutely loved this book and I’m really hoping there’s a third one. I feel like it ended on a really good note but I’m gonna miss not reading about the crows if there isn’t another book. I love how this book dived more into the characters thoughts and their relationships with eachother, it made me feel even closer to them and felt like I was watching these events right in front of me.
