Carnophile: Who'd win in a fight between the Locke Lamora gang and the Kaz Brekker gang? I NEED to see this. No, it's not a contest, but boy would that be a fun read.
wordcauldron: Alanna's George was my first exposure to books about thieving, espionage, gangs, assassins, etc., and this book sort of seemed to me like an in-depth look at that side of life (though a little more violent than it would have been in Alanna's universe), plus Alanna's all about magic and dangerous adventures and such.… (plus d'informations)
JessiAdams: Both are about teams made up of unlikely underdogs with shady pasts working together to complete a goal they have no business succeeding at.
Caramellunacy: Both books center around young criminal crews masterminding intricate heists against impossible odds with high stakes and the help of dashing and brilliant companions.
As a leader of the Dregs, Kaz has contacts, associates, and even a handful of what he might (if pressed) call friends across all the lowest places in the city of Ketterdam. Of late, there have been rumors of a new form of jurda parem, a mind-altering substance, which has been endowing magic-users with previously unimagined power and whose presence threatens to alter the economy in potentially disastrous ways. Accepting a task to lead an ill-advised rescue into the unforgiving neighboring land of Fjerda in exchange for a reward too tantalizing to pass up, Kaz begins to assemble a small team of misfits to take on this impossible mission.
This is a book I wanted to savor and was disappointed when it ended — on a cliffhanger, no less. I had heard such good things about it and was anticipating an immersive experience, so I saved it for while I was vacationing. I was immediately captivated and had difficulty putting it down after just the first few chapters. I loved that the world-building kept me guessing, with some aspects familiar and recognizable and others stretching my brain in a way that was welcome. Eagerly anticipating the next in the series.

Kaz and his crew accept a nearly impossible job because of the promise of a payment beyond their wildest dreams. They must steal a weapon and its creator from an impregnable fortress.
The story is told from multiple POVs filling in the back stories of the characters a little at a time. Each has a different reason for being a part of the crew and it is interesting to see the dynamics of their interactions.
I liked this even more than the Shadow and Bone trilogy and am looking forward to reading the conclusion of the story in the next book. ( )
I really liked the beginning of the book, but then it got boring. I kept reading, because I heard it would get better, but for whatever reason it never did for me. I think my main problem were the characters, I simply didn't really care what was going to happen to them, whether they were going to live or die. I'm not going to read the second book in the series. ( )
I was really looking forward to this book as I loved the Grisha Trilogy. It was very well written and a great adventure story, but I just had trouble connecting with the characters. I think this may have been because of the different perspectives combined with the flashbacks. Still worth a read! ( )
