"I've never had a best friend before," Icarus admitted. "I don't know how it works. Is it supposed to be like this?"

Ancrum truly knows how to write some beautiful scenes, which I knew from Wicker King. But, there's just something about Icarus's yearning for love and friendship  that really makes him a believable character, even when his career is being a Cat Burglar for high end art. His relationships are the heart of this book, and honestly had me wanting a little more time in this world.
