Monza Murcatto is one badass protagonist! Her journey of vengeance is filled with ruthless determination, and I couldn't help but root for her, even with her lack of heroic qualities. The supporting cast is equally impressive, each with their unique quirks and motives that add layers of intrigue. I especially enjoyed Shivers perspective. Also I wasn't that intrigued by Cosca in the original first law series but I really enjoyed seeing more of him in this story.
The only reason I'm not giving this a full 5 stars is that, at times, the pacing felt a bit sluggish, and some sections were a tad long-winded. But, honestly, this is a minor gripe in an otherwise fantastic book. I also was going to give this a 5 star review but then I read The Heroes which I thought was even better and therefore could not justify giving this 5 stars anymore.
Highly recommend!

And in spite of what Cosca claimed, she didn't seem to give a fuck about other people. Her stupidity was the reason behind Shivers losing his eye and all she could do was be disgusted at him and jump the first cock she found that wasn't his. Not that I think Shivers was any better. Foscar's murder was awful.
If Monza died it could've been 4,5*
