I struggled to focus on this one. Maybe audiobook was the wrong choice (the 2 for 1 sale was impossible to resist!) and I should blame the format.

I wasn’t sure whether to call it a flop.

Having friends to discuss this one with made it a little easier to enjoy, at the very least.

Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price—and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can’t pull it off alone. . . .

A convict with a thirst for revenge

A sharpshooter who can’t walk away from a wager

A runaway with a privileged past

A spy known as the Wraith

A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums

A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes

Kaz’s crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction—if they don’t kill each other first.

REVIEW

My interest rose and waned based on who was present in the scene. I enjoyed two PoV character (Kaz & Inej), I hated one (Mathias) and felt indifferent towards the rest until we reached the latter chapters (Jesper, Wylan & Nina)

I had problems with the age of the characters. Their backstories felt too large for their young teen years & they behaved more like adults. Those details felt disjointed and bothered me.

I enjoyed some scenes, but the majority bored me. I probably won’t be reading the next book in the series.
