This book hooked me in immediately and kept me hooked until the very last page. I loved each and every character from the first moment their chapters appeared.The characters were all really well done. They had cleverly crafted backstories which were revealed at the perfect times. They were all unique and brought their own set of differences and similarities to the group. The plot in this book was well constructed and highly entertaining. This book tells a very fun story of the ragtag group of six trying to break into the biggest prison. The fantasy elements were well done. If you haven't read Shadow and Bone you'll be new to how the world is set up. I highly recommend that series, but it isn't necessary to read that to read this. They just take place in the same universe.
