This story was not what I expected at the beginning. At times, it was straight boring, yet I found it intriguing to read about second chances and whether people who have made significant mistakes deserve them. I did not expect such a feel-good ending.

The MC was unbearable at times, with her incredible superpower of ignoring red flags. In the end, the most memorable and striking part of the book for me was the acknowledgments, which is pretty funny.

Iznad svih očekivanja. Ali izazovno za čitanje.

Enchantingly written, I felt as if I was falling uncontrollably into the depths of the human psyche, eager to learn more. Just when I thought I understood what was going on and felt a certain security, something completely unexpected would happen, and I would lose my footing. Brilliant.

I understand the author's intention to address mental health issues through the story, but it was executed in a rather boring and unconvincing way. Most of the book felt like a waiting game for it to finally end. The entire narrative was quite predictable, with only one twist that slightly surprised me, but even that felt implausible.

The events and character development lacked clear motivation and were generally underdeveloped. All the characters sounded the same. Murray's perspective and the events involving Sarah felt entirely unnecessary, as did the mother’s perspective, which was meant to mislead the reader but ended up feeling redundant.

Overall, the book did not live up to its potential. 2.5 stars.

Loved it. I really enjoyed the formula of a heist in fantasy universe I am already familiar with. The plot is thrilling, and the book is a fast read. The archetypes are well-presented, and I appreciate that we experience the story through different POVs. However, why didn't we get Wylan's perspective? I kept thinking there was going to be a big twist involving him since we didn't get to see his viewpoint. Leigh Bardugo continues to amaze me, and I can't wait to explore more of her work.

This part had much different tone and vibes from the first one, it was a lot more serious. Still, I enjoyed myself. Narrator was great, it only take me some time to get used to her pronunciation of "Charlotte".

What an enjoyment! I liked how we got to know the main characters deeper, explore their stories and pasts. I was particularly pleased that Wylan got his own chapters! Additionally, I found it brilliant how Bardugo masterfully interwove representation into the story, without forcing it to meet some imaginery standard or taking on a preachy tone, which is honestly rare these days. I simply adore the Grishaverse!

The premise was fun, but I didn't quite like how it was executed. Toooooo many pop culture references and comparisons. And the MC was just too desperate to find a man, it was cringey to read about it.

What an interesting concept, I had so much fun with Maude, great short listen. The only thing bothering me were short loud breaths from the narrator, it was pretty distracting at times.

I had no idea who the author was, but after this book he has my great respect. It was very interesting to consume story written by an experienced detective. It's filled with believeable facts, although a little bit dry. At times I got totally lost at separate storylines, like I was starting a new book every time. Took a little bit work to connect it all. Not your usual crime story. Narrators were very good.
