[Dr. Andy]

Yes!

[Danii]

Okay, I needed to read a little bit into the book before I posted an update on here..
Chapters 1-14: (view spoiler)[ Well, the first few chapters were a little slow but they definitely picked up. I love Kaz, Inej, Nina, and Jesper!! Such lovable characters. I SWEAR TO GOD IF NINAS HEALING DIDNT WORK ON INEJ AND SHE DIES I WILL CRY!!!! I love the writing in this book so much. So excited to see what happens O: and what happened to Joost? We haven't had a chapter from him in a while... (hide spoiler)]

[Breanna]

Who else freaked out about part 5?? Most action packed part of the book so far. I only have part 6 left. How far is everyone else?

[elle ☀️]

I haven't read any since I finished part 1 woops, had a few bad days and just couldn't make myself read no matter how much I was enjoying this before

[Breanna]

Finally finished this book and it was amazing! So action packed. If anyone is interested in book talks when finished feel free to message me! (:

[Danii]

I just got to part 5! I'm seriously loving how in depth everyone's background stories are. It really makes you connect with the characters! And it's starting to get crazy!!!

[Danii]

You're right Breanna, part 5 was definitely the most action packed!! That was so intense!!

[Danii]

HOLY CRAP THAT ENDING GUYS IM SO GLAD I BOUGHT THE NEXT BOOK ALREADY! This was such a great book and I'm really mad at myself for not reading it sooner! Kaz is so badass omg

[elle ☀️]

I read the whole second half in one go and omg I loved this so much, this really lived up to the hype

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

I'm joining this for the 18th but I'll wait until someone else starts it.

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

I'm starting tonight. Sorry had to finish my other BR.

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Up to chapter 7: (view spoiler)[ I'm loving all the characters so far, especially Kaz. It's really interesting to see what he has up his sleeve and I look forward to learning more about Nina and Matthias. (hide spoiler)]

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

I'm up to Chapter 7.


(view spoiler)[So far not much has happened other than them getting together so they can help Matthias escape. I wonder why he hates Nina so much. Hopefully we will find that out by the end of the book. (hide spoiler)]

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

I'm up to Chapter 19.


(view spoiler)[At least we now know why Matthias is upset with Nina. However, you can totally feel the sexual tension between the two of them. I also hope that Inej will be okay. (hide spoiler)]

I figured it was something like that. I like the book so far. I think it's kind of interesting to see their plans to break into the ice court. It's interesting how the whole thing is happening in a fantasy world. I really like the characters too. They're all so different but it's interesting to see their stories unfold and how they all ended up in the Dregs. I'm really curious about Wylan. We know the least about him. We don't even know why he left home and he's the only that we don't get to see the perspective of.

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

I'm glad that you are enjoying this.


I'm up to Chapter 29.


(view spoiler)[These last chapters had a lot more going on. Too bad I lost interest awhile ago. It's nice to see them all working well together. I like how Matthias isn't as dirty as the rest. You can see he has somewhat of a decent soul. (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

Aww I'm sorry to hear that but I can see why. Taking a step back from the book, it's taking them a while to get to the heist and also getting into the action of it. I would be bored too if I wasn't enjoying their backstories and the world building. I guess I just like leigh's writing and world building. Some books and authors, you just click with. It's the same feeling I had with the Grisha Trilogy. But yeah normally in other books, if it was similar to this, I might have been bored.

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Chapter 20: (view spoiler)[ After all that fighting and tension. That's what they agreed on? Couldn't have been a piece of cake? Killing the mark's not the best way to make up. (hide spoiler)]

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

I've decided that high fantasy books just aren't for me. I've tried several times but I just don't get the hype.


I'm finished.


(view spoiler)[ Not my cup of tea. My sister told me this had more action than her other series. I did enjoy the characters. However, I feel that the author should have made this book shorter. (hide spoiler)]

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

No I get that. It's how I feel about contemporary. While I'm opening myself up to contemporary, I always would rather read fantasy. Just my preference. I'm surprised your sister told you this had a lot of action in it. Most of the action was at the end. But then again I've just read a lot of fantasy books. I would say the action level on this is about average or a little below. But I agree that the beginning was slow and could have shortened. The author could have gotten into the action of everything much faster.

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

It's funny that you don't like contemporary but like fantasy because I'm the complete opposite. I think she was trying to tell me that this had more action than her Grisha trilogy.

[Bhavik (Semi Hiatus)]

Birthday treat I'm waiting for!

[Dannii]

Literally not heard a bad word about this duology, so I am SO excited to read this! I liked the Grisha trilogy, but didn't love it so I am intrigued to see what I will make of this. I have heard it is such a superior read to the original series.

[Guinevere]

Can I join? Missed the 2 BRs last month but I think I could really read it this month

[Dannii]

Yes, of course :)

[Dannii]

1/4: (view spoiler)[I am already loving this more than any of the three books in the Grisha trilogy. The writing just feels far superior and the plot more gripping.

Bardugo is showing herself to be such a clever writer. She makes us feel a death of a character who has no bearing on the plot by allowing his eyes to be the ones the reader first views this world through.

Also, so happy I finally know what 'no mourners. no funerals', means! (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Chapter 3
(view spoiler)[I'm not sure if the Merchants getting a hand on this guy would be a good thing. They could use him same as anyone else would. Kaz has to know that. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

End of Part 1
(view spoiler)[Bad Matthias. That is so not how you say hello to the person whose come to break you out of prison. (hide spoiler)]

[Dannii]

Quirks wrote: "End of Part 1

Little bit grumpy, isn't he?

[Dannii]

2/4: (view spoiler)[I am shipping everybody with everybody else! There are so many burgeoning romances and none of them feel forced, fake, or predictable (hide spoiler)]

[Dannii]

3/4: (view spoiler)[This is the tensest I have been in a long time,
whilst reading a book! I'm so invested in this heist and these characters!I could totally see Nina getting put in one of the cells and Inej or one of the other characters getting detained before entry. I was literally screaming at my book. Haha. (hide spoiler)]

[Dannii]

4/4: (view spoiler)[Everything about this book almost just killed me off but that ending was something else. Inejjjjj!

Why is this only a duology and not a 100 book series?I could honestly go on reading about this world and these characters, forever! Someone pass me Crooked Kingdom! (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

@Danii Haha... Yeah, he is.

End of part 2
(view spoiler)[These Fjerdans are so backward in their ways and thinking that it makes me wants to kill someone.
But, on a brighter note, that ghost conversation was brilliant. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

End of Part 3
(view spoiler)[If these two think that Kaz doesn't have a way to keep them honest, or is prepared for them going rogue... they're idiots. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Chapter 29
(view spoiler)[I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I fucking LOVE how smart Kaz is. Smart people are my weakness. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

End of Part 5
(view spoiler)[Kaz, you have the worst timing. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

[Siobhan]

[Siobhan]

Im on page 20 and im not enjoying it so far :(

[Siobhan]

Got to page 50 and its after picking up :)

[Natalie]

Joining!

Will start reading when I have a break from work XD;;

[Natalie]

...Wait... Do I need to have read The Grisha Trilogy before continuing with this?

I noticed a few familiar words when I started reading and then realised this book is part of a spin-off series from The Grisha Trilogy :|

[Siobhan]

I havent read the grisha trilogy. It might make a difference but im 64 pages in and things get explained

[Siobhan]

Page 64 its really picked up i cant wait for college to finish so i can really get into that. (view spoiler)[ i cant believe Joost and Anya are dead. At least i think its joost (hide spoiler)]

[Corrine]

Page 58 (view spoiler)[I was not expecting super powers in this novel. I can't wait to see where this goes. (hide spoiler)]

[Natalie]

15%

(view spoiler)[Well the possible lovers at the beginning of the book didn't end so well did they? Both dead - one on the floor one in the water... 8'D

But hey, Inej sounds like an interesting character sonfar! I'm looking forward to seeing how that turns out, and what part she'll have to play c: (hide spoiler)]

[Corrine]

Page 162 (view spoiler)[Finding this book really confusing, but enjoying all the action. I haven't gotten a grip on this world yet. Nina is probably wishing she is a healer right about now. (hide spoiler)]

[Noor]

does it contains romance??

[Ariel]

17%
(view spoiler)[ so many different characters to keep up with (ugh). I actually like Kaz so far. He seems kind of like a crook and a scam artist, but there is something very honest about him (hide spoiler)]
