Still a very good time, maybe a little less tight than Six of Crows ?
Still a satisfying resolution

but like many other readers I'm not very happy with the conclusion of the Nina / Mathias arc.

This book was amazing. The characters were phenomenal and the plot was interesting and fast paced. I got so attached to the characters and they felt like real people to me. The writing was amazing and the even though the plot cam be complicated,  everything made sense in the end!
