A really cool novel that will entertain and entrance you.

I found it a little bit pretentious at first, but I got over it in the first twenty pages (maybe it was just Kaz's introduction. And well. He is a pretentious motherfucker.) 

Both the plot and characters stand out to me, the plot was gripping, fast faced but fluid. It's one of my fave tropes, too (delinquents and heists). While our characters do incredible things, it doesn't read as too much, or make you roll your eyes. The characters are charming and well rounded, the relationships between them feel natural and the dynamics suck you in.

The author is able to create such a vibrant world with little descriptive language, which is something I very much enjoy. The world is so creative, rich and unique. The characters feel so real. Also with a thrilling plotline! This book is an achievement

I absolutely adore this book and its characters. A read I keep coming back to reread and reread, the worldbuilding of Bardugo and her writing is so beautiful. I fell in love with her world and her characters, and you will too. Five stars. (But do be mindful of the content warnings!)
