I know right I feel like I'm spinning in circles reading this book.

27%

(view spoiler)[So far there seems to have just been a lot of build up... I know there's going to be a heist (but that was obvious from the synopsis) but at this stage there isn't a huge amount that is truly clear.

I still really like Inej, and Kaz is also growing on me... Don't seem to be any one-dimensional characters from what has happened so far which I love and there's a lot of world building.

Very interested to see what the Ice Court is like c:

[Natalie]

36%

(view spoiler)[Well there's definitely something between Kaz and Inej... but I'm not sure how that's going to go, or even how I WANT it to go...

Also, which one is Pekka Rollins? There have been so many characters introduced already and some only fleetingly, so I have no idea who it was that called for this... potential betrayal? :|

Still, they are on their way to this heist finally xD surprising how long things take when you both need more build up but also want things to hurry up and get to the point :P (hide spoiler)]

[Natalie]

40%

(view spoiler)[It's really interesting to find out some of Nina and Matthias' past together, how their relationship initially started off. Just enough (at this stage) to leave you eager for more information. Hoping there are more flashbacks soon to explain more of that (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

40% | Part 2
(view spoiler)[ Matthias is really annoying me with this whole 'I love and hate Nina'. I mean, I think at this point he fully intends to hate her, but there are still some feelings there, you can tell.
This plot is really dragging for me and the character shifts are KILLING me. It's been pretty difficult for me to keep up with everything (hide spoiler)]

I agree, at this point I think we need a lot more context on all the characters really, especially their relationship.

[Ariel]

59%
(view spoiler)[ WOW. I cannot believe things went that South for Kaz that quickly. The idea of floating on your brother back to shore and even being buried in a pile of the dead is disturbing. I can see his thirst for vengeance coming through. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Finished
(view spoiler)[
Did I like it? Yes. But the ending was confusing. Why did he let Pekka go?? I don't understand the whole 'I'll kill you later' thing. I see no purpose in keeping him alive but I'm guessing it's for money and of course this will have some grand death.
I hate how it leaves off without us knowing about Nina! She has to be okay!! (hide spoiler)]

Definitely. I'm spending so much time just completely lost with this story xD;;

[Natalie]

75%

(view spoiler)[Well I definitely no longer feel lost in this story but now I have another issue xD I just wish it would get to the point. There's so much build up that you THINK something is going to happen, but nope! MORE build up ;-;

It's well written and all, I just wish it felt like it went faster, it's not long enough to justify this feeling!

...on the bright side though, we finally have another taste of Kaz's background with Pekka Rollins, and what part that played in Kaz's brothers death... (hide spoiler)]

Someone still reading? Or are you all done?

I am so on this, I bought these just been waiting to buddy read with some people!!

[Vippi]

I've started this morning :)

[Vippi]

Chapter 2
This is my second time around.
Funny thing: I've totally forgotten how this book starts (view spoiler)[with Anja and the 'jurda mystery' (hide spoiler)], I'm already hooked (again)!

[Alissa]

I just requested this book from my library, but I am on the waitlist. Hopefully I will get it soon and be able to join the fun for this book read.

[Tavia]

I’ll be starting this later today or tomorrow ^_^

[Tavia]

Chapter 1: (view spoiler)[ Omg the ending of that chapter was intense. I wonder is Anya is going to make Hoede kill himself? What did they give her because it seems to have made her really powerful! (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 2: (view spoiler)[ I’m loving Kaz already! It’s sad that’s Bolliger betrayed them like that and it sad that he may even die. But I love how smart Kaz is and how he acts<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 3: (view spoiler)[ I wonder who he’s going to get as his crew? That’s a lot of money though I’m order to do the job (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 6: (view spoiler)[ Well I wasn’t expecting that reaction from Matthias (hide spoiler)]

[San]

Oh, great! There is a BR! I've just got my book <3 I'll start reading this evening.

[Tavia]

Yay that’s awesome!

[Tavia]

Chapter 7: (view spoiler)[ Matthias is so angry. I hope he will learn to love the team as they work together. It’s cool that they have Van Eck’s son on their team. I hope he’s useful though (hide spoiler)]

[Vippi]

(view spoiler)[Kaz is awesome indeed. He's probably my fav... even though the competition is ruthless: Bardugo crafted a bunch of unforgettable characters that it's really hard to pick up just one of them! (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[ Did anyone catch the Alina reference when Inej told us the names of her knives? Haha (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Vippi wrote: "Shantavia wrote: "Chapter 2: [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

Yes, she’s really good at writing characters!

[Tavia]

Chapter 11: (view spoiler)[ Wylan and Jesper are bonding and so are Nina and Matthias? At least they can all work together (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 13: (view spoiler)[ Wow that was so gruesome Kaz! He literally slashed Oomen’s eye and took out his eyeball. How kick-butt is that? I wonder what Kaz will do about Pekka Rollins. (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 14: (view spoiler)[ I can see Nina and Matthias making a cute couple. I hope they work out their problems. In my eyes, they both were wrong about the situation that happened in the past between them. They both played a part in it. (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 16: (view spoiler)[ That explains what Tante Helen meant about getting Inej back, when she talked to her earlier in the book. Also do you guys remember Zoya from the Grisha Trilogy? I was surprised when Nina talked about her a few chapters back (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 17: (view spoiler)[ Kaz definitely has some feelings for Inej. (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 18: (view spoiler)[ Omg so they played Kaz and Jordie! They didn’t even stay in that house on a daily, they were just visiting. Jordie should have just stayed content. (hide spoiler)]

[Lisa]

3%: the first 15 pages done... not so excited about this book... i know i'm still at the beginning (as this book has lots of pages :) ) - afraid that there will be many POV's...

I feel the same. I've just finish 1st chapter and i am afraid that I won't like this book so much as everyone said I would.

I fe..."

I loved this book and i'm still loving it even this second time around, hence I'm biased... however, my suggestion is to hold on: once you meet the crew,it's likely that you'll fall in love with them too ;)

[Vippi]

Shantavia wrote: "Chapter 10: [spoilers removed]"

Me too! :D

(view spoiler)[I think one of the things I love most of this book is how vividly characters are depicted, with all their demons and internal struggles... The fact itself that each of the six main characters is broken/hunted in his/her kind of way makes the story far more complelling...
Maybe it's just me, but I could't get attached to Alina as I did to Kaz, Inej, Mathias (those three are my favs... well, Kaz above all XD) and the others... (hide spoiler)]

[Vippi]

Chapter 11
(view spoiler)[Traps and deceptions are always around the corner!

@Shantavia: Jesper & Wylan make a great team to me too

I'm eager to (re)read why Kaz always wears gloves and what happened between Mathias and Nina (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

I’m enjoying it so far, but I’m still not loving it. It’s like a 4 our if 5 stars for me so far, but hopefully that rating increases as I keep reading.

[Tavia]

Chapter 20: (view spoiler)[ Oh no, Matthias and Nina made a deal to kill the person they are rescuing! I hope they don’t go through with it, because the others won’t get paid and Kaz will be extremely upset. At least Nina told the story of how she tried to help Matthias and why she got him convicted (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 21: (view spoiler)[ They made it on the wagon, but max fainted! (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 26: (view spoiler)[ I figured that Pekka was Kaz! I hope they make it out of this alive. I really hope Kaz doesn’t take too long (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 28: (view spoiler)[ Oh gosh Nina’s on her own now. Kaz killed Pekka which I was expecting. But they have changed the plan! Gosh I hope everything goes good. I’m enjoying the book, but I’m still not in love like everyone has been saying they are. (hide spoiler)]

[Tanaz]

Started (view spoiler)[Joost is so adorable and childlike! 9 pages in only and I already feel like giving him a hug and kissing his cheek XD (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 34: (view spoiler)[ OMG WHAT DID I JUST READ!?! So Matthias was working with Brum all this time! So he played the crew? Omg I wasn’t that into the book until now, this just tore my heart out! (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 35: (view spoiler)[ Yess! Matthias is on our side! It sucks that he has to knock Brum unconscious, but hey they have to finish the mission (hide spoiler)]

[Vippi]

Shantavia wrote: "Chapter 17: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Yeah, he feels (more than) something for her! His behaviour when she was hurt by Oomen (his rage, his concern...) was the first real proof... Sad thing: she is in love with him too but she thinks to be just an 'investment' to him...

Jesper is in love with Kaz, too, isn't he (or is it just my 'misinterpretation)? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Yes I can actually see Jesper in love with Kaz. They way he’s hurt when he thinks Kaz doesn’t trust him (hide spoiler)]

[Tavia]

Chapter 38: (view spoiler)[ So now we know what’s wrong with Kaz’s leg and why he wears the gloves. I wonder how this is all going to end (hide spoiler)]
