esknight89's review against another edition
One thing I couldn't get out of my head was the concept of the formerly enslaved heroine knowing how to read. Did someone teach her how to read inbetween a mad-scientist's experimentation and doing contractual theiving?
I tried to give it a chance, but it started to feel like a slog at 58%.

That was really my only problem. I’m so exited to see how Sancia and Berenice’s relationship grows. I’m so exited for some good sapphic romance!!

I wrote that much partway through reading. I've come to amend.

It starts out slower because there is so much that has to be set up in the initial chapters and first section of the book. But goodness, is it worth it for the vast wealth of story that you get farther in.
I stand by it that Clef is my favourite character. But I have such an immense appreciation fo Sancia, Gregor, Berenice, and even Orso! All of the characrers are developed so well, and they all have some kind of arc and growth throughout the story.
The heists are EPIC and the twists and turns? Goodness I was on the edge of my seat... figuratively. But this was so good. I am really looking forward to seeing where else this series goes! (If my heart can take it that is...)
