Wow, this book was truly unique! I've never read anything like this before, where Fae aren't using only magic, but they also have really smart and interesting mechanisms. They don't trick humans only by using magic, but by using something called “mirrorcraft”, which was really awesome to read about. These Fae are nothing like I've seen before, but one thing is sure: they are vicious.

This is an action-packed book, jumping from one even to the other in such a great way that you have no idea when the story ends (or that's what happened to me). I was so caught up in everything that was happening, I felt like I was there with the unusual crew. Because that's what this book is about: a quest that starts thanks to a thief called Rags - and I really do think that this name suits him. Along the way, he finds himself becoming an incredible person, something he never thought he would be. Thinking that we is “just a thief, but a good one”, Rags becomes so much more than that.

I absolutely loved seeing this development through the book, how he tried to deny his feelings and how it was so hard for him to acknowledge the fact that he wasn't such a bad person after all.
The people he befriends are all special in their own way and I loved that, as side characters they are great and I can't wait to read more about them.

This book gave me major Six of Crows & Crooked Kingdom vibes, thanks to the unusual joining of very different people, that start working together for a common reason. I would definitely recommend this if you've read the duology and liked it, I'm sure you're going to like this book; especially since it has Fae in it and a little bit of gay slow-burn romance.
