I realise, having now read this book, that heist novels are possibly not for me.

and yet. These characters quietly weasled their way into my brain and I adore them. The writing is sharp and nasty. I had glimpses of a darker Terry Pratchett in this band of misfits. 

I adore the whole idea of the Grisha and their powers and the vehicle they become for exploration of exploitation and the economic trade in bodies. I found the Fjerda culture really interesting and well thought out. 

And I like vengeance. Unpicking the trauma and motivations that Kaz and his gang work under was brilliant.  

I could see me getting sucked right in to the Grishaverse, and I'll definitely be returning to this world.
