THIS BOOK IS PSYCHOTIC!!! I MEAN IT IS INHUMANLY GOOD. I had finished this book at 8:35 pm after staying up most of the night to read a good chunk of it and falling asleep at 9 am. I really don't know where to begin.

I think the characters are the soul of this book and I will talk about them individually but I do want to answer whether it is important to have read the Grisha trilogy or not before this book. The answer is no. However because I did read the trilogy before, I was able to recognize s ...more

"Well, we've managed to get ourselves locked into the most secure prison in the world. We're either geniuses or the dumbest son of bitches to ever breathe earth."

Saints! Leigh Bardugo is a genius. Leave to her to include diversity, mental illness and so many other topics in the middle of a heist. This book was a masterpiece! I loved everything. From the complex characters, their interactions to the way she has to immerse you in the Grishaverse.

I rarely give out 5 stars. That's like, Harry Potter status.

Even though I'm a slow reader, I finished this in two sittings. I got really unique vibes from this book - it felt like a 1940s film noir slash gritty comic book.

Kaz is SO complex and intriguing. I love how he dresses in tailored suits and vests with his gloves and cane. His intelligence and scheming ways are just INFLKSNCIOASDFEJIESIONSFISDFJ. He's literally terrible, but you love him nonetheless.

This book is a perfect blend of phys ...more

Tenho de confessar que no início deste livro fiquei um pouco confusa. Não entendi do que se tratava. Parecia uma história de conspiração sem nexo. Mas a medida que a história foi se desenvolvendo comecei a me envolver com as personagens, e o seu ambiente de destruição e caos.
Kaz, Nina e Mathias são personagens complexas que vivem em constante conflito. Kaz é um ladrão, considerado um traidor para muitos, que procura vingança pela morte do seu irmão. Uma missão que o pode levar a ficar rico, o ju ...more

I can't explain how amazing this book is. Reading it was like falling in love with a whole new world and characters. I really, enjoyed this book. I loved everything about the characters. It's everything you want from a fantasy fiction.

It's set in the Ketterdam- a dangerous city of violence. There are six main character in the book and has multiple POV. Getting a POV from each of them helped to provide depth to the characters. Each of them had difficult past which shapes their characters. Kaz is I can't explain how amazing this book is. Reading it was like falling in love with a whole new world and characters. I really, enjoyed this book. I loved everything about the characters. It's everything you want from a fantasy fiction.

It's set in the Ketterdam- a dangerous city of violence. There are six main character in the book and has multiple POV. Getting a POV from each of them helped to provide depth to the characters. Each of them had difficult past which shapes their characters. Kaz is offered with a dangerous proposition of breaking into the Ice court, for which he has been offered a lot of money, but obviously he can't do it alone.

My favorite aspect of the book is the characters and the back story of the characters were interesting. And, finally thing I loved the most. There's, Kaz the 17 year old thief who is mysterious and seeks revenge for something which is happened in the past. His character is complex and flawed. He's smarter than everyone, cooler than everyone and crueler than everyone.He's got nickname "dirtyhands" for his brutal morality. He walks with a cane and never takes off his gloves. He's the man with all the plan. He drives the action and, I think he's got the best lines in the book.

Inej- She's incredibly strong and goes out for her own aspiration. She feels secure with her knives. She's the light-footed spy , she also has a gift of stealth never making, any sound as she moves simply known as "wraith". Kaz's secret keeper. I love Inej’s quiet determination, and her relationships with others–particularly Kaz.

Nina- The Grisha Heartrender, with magical ability to heal and calm. Matthias- Soldier of the Ice Court, the shamed Grisha hunter and prisoner with a murderous grudge against Nina who betrayed him. I enjoyed all his conflicts and the growth of his character.

And there's Jesper, the sharpshooter and the gambler and Wylan, the runaway privileged son with his demolition skills. They're the most adorable characters and managed to make the story light with the drama and dialogues. The pair were obvious from the beginning, Nina and Matthias were really fun.

The story line was captivating from start to finish, you'll be hooked with the story line of the six amazing characters. It's a brilliant book with amazing characters and great writing. You should honestly read this book. It's a great read.

Recommended to those who like fantasy and adventure.

This is one of the books that blows you away with his fantastic characters, flawless writing and thrilling adventures! I had big hopes going into this book, since all the good ratings, and I was not disappointed. It's been a wonderful experience getting into the thievery, scumming,violent world of the Barrell to get our crew of criminals to save the world. Each of the characters, of our peculiar team, is well described and full. I felt in love with all of them in the end, loving more than anyone ...more
