Here’s a list of reasons to pick up this awesome duology:-
1) Well intricate plot fulled with twists to leave you shocking
2) Awesome characters - for the first time I loved all of the gang totally and wholly
3) Funny as hell - The banter in this book is top notch. I have LOLed so hard so many times.
4) Deals with hard hitting topics- For a YA book this duology dealt with hard hitting topics like addiction, PTSD, loneliness and more
5) Worldbuilding - The city KETTERDAM made by @lbardugo is now one of fav fictional places ofc I won’t go there but she made it so realistic and atmospheric.
P.S:- I know it’s okay to read these duo-logy without reading SHADOW AND BONE trilogy but I wholly recommend to read those three before because there’s some crossover which to be honest was one of my favourite parts of this book.
