When you can't beat the odds, change the game.
Kaz Brekker and his crew have just pulled off a heist so daring even they didn't think they'd survive. But instead of divvying up a fat reward, they're right back to fighting for their lives. Double-crossed and badly weakened, the crew is low on resources, allies, and hope. As powerful forces from around the world descend on Ketterdam to root out the secrets of the dangerous drug known as jurda parem, old rivals and new enemies emerge to challenge Kaz's cunning and test the team's fragile loyalties. A war will be waged on the city's dark and twisting streets-a battle for revenge and redemption that will decide the fate of the Grisha world.

3.75⭐️ enjoined this book better than the first… but not everything… overall series were adventurous and characters were interesting… the ending was both good and heartbreaking… lots of plot twists which keeps things interesting
Definitely one of the best books I’ve ever read !!! Loved it
What a ride this book was. Truly exciting and intruging read. Was surprised that I loved this as much even if I gave the first one a try. Just didn't think the series was something for me before I got recommended this and I was having so much fun reading this series. Not having read the original series before this, didn't take away from my enjoyment but it could have added to it, aboslutly. I'm a bit sad there is no more book to reach for but I might read the other series or see if Leigh Bardugo have written something else.
Oh, no, why is it over?
This book made me cry and not just because I finished it. I'm not posting spoilers here, but I was unhappy over a character's death and yet, somehow, it made sense. It wouldn't have fit if everything had worked out perfectly, because that's not the kind of world they live in.
I just...argh. I want more. *grabby hands*
******5.0********
Review Soon!!!
*4.75 ish I liked it a little less then the first one, but it was still really good.👌🏻
Compulsively readable. I ship all of them.
This book has so many "GOTCHA" moments that I couldn't take anything seriously by the end.
What can you read after
