This. This book is what the Six of Crows duology wishes it could have accomplished with its attempt at the Found Family trope. This is what the entire Throne of Glass series wishes it could have done with a main character who fits the chess master/Magnificent Bastard archetypes. I put off reading this for far too long, but it was so nice to return to these characters and this writing. I need to not do the same with the third book (which I have, and I need to also read.) I can't say enough good about this.
