i meaaaaaan the author is hugely popular and the book has great reviews. not a surprise i liked it.
positives: clever writing and well fleshed out world. characters are diverse and each feels like they have their own world going on. plot is a fun heist style so it keeps me on my toes.
negatives: sometimes it felt very hamfisted in trying to make kaz a cool guy. i just felt like he was shadow the hedgehog sorry!! also i know they grew up fast cause they had hard lives, but i still wish the characters werent teens.
read this book if you like high fantasy with some grit to it. its only a little tense and suspenseful.
