World
Leigh again brings us in the marvelous Grishaverse, but know we see a completely different city, with gambling, gangs and criminals and everything is really dark and moody and then we see Fjerda, with the ice and snow. The ice really doesn’t forgive and you realize how hard it is for the people who live, but they also love this climate and their conservative Lifestyle.
Characters
We meet six completely new, diverse and interesting character and I think everyone has a favorite (mine is Inej) but the others are still so special and understand them and love their actions. Also we get 6 different POV’s which I love.
Inej Ghafa: She is a Suli Acrobat, also known as the Wraith, who spies for the Dregs and knows everybody’s secret. Also she is an excellent fighter with her daggers. Also she is the moral compass under a group of criminals.
Kaz Brekker: He is the Leutnant of the Dregs, who does everything for the right price. His genius mind creates all the dirty plans they follow. His sarcastic additute is addictive
Jesper Fahey: He is the sharpshooter of the group, who has immense depts cause of his gambling addiction. He also has the best sense of humor and makes you just burst out laughing.
Nina Zenik: Was an solider in the second arm cause of her Heartrender abilities. She is really confident and always hypes everyone up also her friendship with Inej is amazing.
Matthias Helvar: He was originally a Drüskelle so he hunted Grisha like Nina, but because of her he sat 1 year in a cruel prison in Ketterdam. He is very conservative and wants to follow the strict Drüskelle rules.
Wylan van Eck: he is the son of a rich Merchant, but on mysteries circumstances he ran away from home and now makes his money with building bombs for the Dregs.
Plot
The plot is just amazing, we get a dangerous heist, with one of the most crazy plans of all time. Something goes wrong and immediately there is a second and third and forth plan, with crazy plot twist you couldn’t see coming. It’s simply amazing
Writing
I have read other books from Leigh Bardugo and you can clearly see how her style improved and got better and better. There are so many quotes, really I have written over 250 just from this duoligy it is amazing and it really brings you to think about so many things.
