Other than the ending making me giggle because of a connection I made to something else, I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the sequel.
Every one of these characters has their own secrets, and not knowing their secrets just makes you eager to read more and find out about them. Although they're all thieves or liars or murderers, you can't help but love them. Because none of them CHOSE the hand they were dealt.
All in all, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy adventure books.

The world is filled with
Was this a well-crafted piece? No. The first-person POV became repetitive sometimes. But I still continued reading and found it comedic at times. One can say that the characters grew on me, especially when
