What it is about
Kaz Brekker is offered a huge payment to break a prisoner out of a fortress that no one has ever escaped. He gathers a crew of six: a sharpshooter, a spy, a runaway, a convict, a Grisha and himself. Each has their own reasons and their own secrets.
Who will enjoy it
Readers who like heist stories, ensemble casts and fantasy.
What you will get
A gripping start to a duology that many readers like better than the Grisha trilogy. You can read it without reading Shadow and Bone first.
