I don’t know if I’ll ever be over how good this book is- Bardugo’s writing is so good I feel as if I’m living and breathing in the damp streets of Ketterdam.

I love each and every one of her complex characters and their accompanying backstories. There’s so much variation (partly due to the detailed world building) that you really feel involved in this while world that you’re introduced to.

Before reading this for the first time, I was a little off put by its description of a heist novel- but it’s genuinely one of my favourite books. The dialogue is quick and witty, and the relationships within the band of criminals are continually keeping you on your toes.

Also very excited for the Netflix adaption that’s on its way!
