So if Six of Crows gave birth to a baby, this would be that baby. I thought Ace of Shades was a great start to the series. I really liked these characters. Enne and Levi are no Kaz and Inej, but I still loved them and their distinct personalities, especially Enne's cookie eating fetish!

The world building was unique, and the author's writing drew me in right away. Plus, talk of game cards, acrobatics, and magic, I was then completely sold. The book's romance is more on the side, but I was annoyed every time the characters wanted to kiss and then was like well... Come on!

I also loved Levi's friend Jac. Can he please get some of his own chapters in the next book? It doesn't really end on a bad cliffhanger or anything but enough to want me to need the next book!!
