It has been a year and a half since I've read this book and I never continued this series !! even though this book is amazing and has everything in a book I could wish for.. Great main characters, some plot twists I did not see coming, a steady and healthy romance, great and fantastic world-building.
So I've re-read this one, and will continue with the others ! And even more awesome, I can continue directly with the Six of Crows after this !! Can't wait !!
