Kaz Brekker and his crew have just pulled off a heist so daring even they didn't think they'd survive. But instead of divvying up a fat reward, they're right back to fighting for their lives. Double-crossed and badly weakened, the crew is low on resources, allies, and hope. As powerful forces from around the world descend on Ketterdam to root out the secrets of the dangerous drug known as jurda parem, old rivals and new enemies emerge to challenge Kaz's cunning and test the team's fragile loyalties.

Great story but inconsistent narrators
Revisado: 12-10-20
My only gripe comes down to the different narrators changing accents of the characters. For instance, the voice actor for Wylan gave Jesper a slight Texan drawl. Where as Jespers voice actor gave himself a
Cockney accent? It took me out of the story a bit, but it didn’t ruin the excitement and pace. I still enjoyed it a lot.

Aza Holmes never intended to pursue the disappearance of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett, but there’s a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake and her Best and Most Fearless Friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate. So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides that separate them from Pickett’s son Davis. Aza is trying. She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.

Another beautifully told story- just one I couldn’t stand
Revisado: 10-24-17
John green is an amazing author and I will forever read any book he writes, but this one was hard to swallow. He writes about OCD like he’s living it, but that doesn’t negate the fact that it is exhausting to listen to. Aza’s disease makes you want to reach through the book and shake her. Her obsessive thoughts and irrational thinking is obnoxious. You sympathize with her but you hate her. And the worst part is she’s not the only one you hate!
I’m glad that John green has passed on the character of ‘manic pixie dream girl’ to a side character, this time by way of Aza’s best friend, daisy. It’s easier to see how annoying this trait is now that we’re viewing it through the eyes of a 17 year old male obsessed with her, and why it just needs to stop.
And lastly, we have Davis. The son of a youth obsessed billionaire who left all of his fortune to a lizard. Davis is quiet and unobtrusive but parts of him scream ‘r/im14andthisisdeep’. He’s a poet and a star gazer and otherwise a lot like toast. Bland and brittle.
The characters I’d like to have seen more of- Michael with his surprisingly thoughtful art project, or Noah and his attempt to process his father leaving him at the age of 13- those characters were side notes.
Overall, the writing is exquisite, and the idea is interesting, but this is a book I feel like I will love to hate and not much more.
