I fell in love with this book by chapter 3. As soon as I got to the last chapter I went out and bought the duology because I couldn't wait for the next one. The author's writing is captivating, the cast of characters are wonderful and I find everyone deep and their arcs throughout the story wonderful (except Wylan - I hope he gets more in book 2). The pace in the story is always moving with the slow moments centered around character depth or plot point build-up. Truly a beautiful book!

If you struggle with drug use/abuse this may not be the book for you.

The plot centers around a heist that's caused by the creation of a drug that boosts the powers of magic users, but it's HIGHLY addictive. Almost one use and they're gone. And we see the effects multiple times in graphic details on occassion. . Proceed with caution if that is a trigger for you.

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.
