I wasn’t really sure about the hype surrounding these characters after finishing Six of Crows. But this book sealed the deal for me. I love them, too, and the way their stories meet and diverge, the way they have their own goals and their own drive, the way they support one another (or not), and the ways in which their dynamics can change based on who they interact with. Was the plot great? It was fun. Did Kaz save the day just a time too many with a barely believable plan? Maybe. But I don’t mind.
