This was great. I picked it up on a whim, and was thoroughly engrossed in the city of Ketterdam, the cast of characters with their backstories and motivations, and the twists and turns. I'm generally not a fan of the stereotypical "asshole genius" character build, but each of the individual crew has their time to shine. I also appreciate that they have one-on-one time with each other in odd pairs too, making for some great conversation. Very fun, and now will need to investigate the rest of the author's works.
