Second reread review (2024): 

I will always love this book. I love every single main character, though Inej is my favorite. It made me laugh so many times. I even love the romance. Some characters deserve better than their love interest (*looking at Inej, Wylan, and Nina*), but I still root for the romance. It's a good heist story with a found family trope, a favorite of mine. These characters have heartbreaking, traumatic backstories, making me emotional and connected to them, especially Inej. If you haven't read this book, read it. And it gets better in the second book.

Fantastic. I read the thing in one sitting and couldn't put it down. By 1 am, I was about 75% of the way through, and knew there was no turning back. The last quarter of the book, if not more of it, is a complete page turner, with the action building and twisting in delightfully complex ways. The action is so well written! And the style of each chapter told from a different character's perspective is masterfully done. It wasn't until the last chapter that I even consciously realized they were told in third person, because the narration was so personal and pulled me in so intimately, I felt like I was the first person character.

A good read. Slow at the start but you can tell it is to set up the plot. Kaz is so badass. Definitely reading book 2 as the cliffhanger is unbearable. “Because our crime is existing. Our crime is what we are.”
