Initial Reaction: Jaw is on the floor

Can't believe it took me this long to write this review. This book was one of my top reads of 2023. If you are like me and LOVE the heist genre, this is the book!! Six of Crows, Ocean's Eleven, whatever you're a fan of, this is your next stop. Kayvion nailed the suspense and anticipation of any good heist, while still writing such fun and complex characters and so so much tension. The concept of a competition to see who's the best thief was so intriguing and it was done so well. Go get this right now I'm serious.

Initial reaction: absolutely brilliant I love this series SO MUCH

I loved Threads That Bind and was lucky enough to get access to this sequel so soon after reading it. This was so intense, heart pounding, and absolutely captivating. The characters and the plot advanced so much, it really is a testament to how brillant of a writer Kika is that she squeezed so much into a duology. Absolutely obsessed, an EASY new favorite series, i love them all SO MUCH (also Edei's background is Egyptian inspired this is a WIN)

It’s been eight days and I can’t stop thinking about this book. When I say this was SO good!!

June’s writing has grown and improved so much since Jade Fire Gold and I couldn’t put this book down. The comp to Shadowhunters is accurate and I love how this concept worked with Chinese gods and underworld. I want the next book NOW!
