Such a fun book! I admit it took me longer to get through this one than it did to read the first book, but I still adore the heist-y storytelling and the jumping between perspectives. Even after almost a year of starting it, reading a third of it, and then finally finishing it, I was a bit lost with the plot but was able to jump right back in, enjoying the characters and learning about their backstories even when I was confused about the plot lol. I love the vast amount of world building! I haven’t read any other books from the Grishaverse but this duology certainly has made me want to!
