I, an avid Lifetime movie watcher, am absolutely terrible at predicting plot twists and being surprised at the same variation of multiple movies. That being said, I was able to correctly predict a few plot twists of this story. It left a chalky taste in my mouth.

The world building was difficult to get into for the first 20% as I (was told that I) didn't (need) to read Shadow and Bone to get started. Maybe I made a mistake, but I powered through anyways.

The multiple POV thing was a bit jarring for me to get used to as it was 2+ POVs. The mid chapter flashbacks didn't help either.

The heist buildup was slow, but fun when it got to that part. Don't think I'm going to be reading the sequel though.
