By: Leigh Bardugo

Narrated by: Jay Snyder, Brandon Rubin, Fred Berman, Lauren Fortgang, Roger Clark, Elizabeth Evans, Tristan Morris

Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price - and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can't pull it off alone.

A convict with a thirst for revenge. A sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager. A runaway with a privileged past. A spy known as the Wraith. A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums. A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz's crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction - if they don't kill each other first.

Dannng!

So I'm not going to lie...... I had never read anything from Leigh Bardigo before, so understanding the Grisha stuff was difficult at the beginning for me. The names of places, gangs, descriptions, and people threw me off, and for the first few chapters, I questioned listening further.

But!!!!! When the plot started to pick up, it shot straight up, and I was enthralled.
I ended up really liking this book, and frustrated when it ended. The sequel cannot come soon enough!!!

Nina and Inej were my favorites (though, I'm a lady, so that isn't very surprising), but I still liked how each character had an intricate web of a background. At first, the many characters was confusing and frustrating, but again, that quickly changed :)

Bravo! I loved it.

Some What Annoying Reading

This story captures your attention quickly and then lights your imagination on fire as it opens a colorful and deliciously textured world for your listening pleasure.The way different cultures are used, the character development, and the action packed adventure of it all will keep you on your toes. I did not, however, appreciate the way the different voice actors were used, which is why I gave this book a mediocre performance score. Rather than having each of the actors voice their own character through the entire reading, one actor would read through an entire chapter at a time and voice all of the characters that appear in that chapter. This made things slightly confusing at some points, and I found this style to be against my personal taste.

Love all the narrators

It is so great to listen to a book with multiple narrators, each one did a fantastic job and it was refreshing.
What a great listen, I was quickly caught up in the story and can't wait for the next book!

Ocean's 11 with teenagers

The switch between voice actors was surprising. Multiple actors speak for the different characters so there were probably six voices for one character.

The author switched POV so often to assist the grand scheme suspense. It was usually told by the POV of the person who didn't know what was happening.

Kaz was a little too jaded for me, but I thought the overall story was very fun. I could imagine it being a made into an Ocean's 11-type film.

Captivating but Unfinshed

Captivating story and excellent narrators, but the end is incomplete. Readers are required to read the second book in the series to find out what happens to all of the characters. For this reason, I would have given 4 1/2, stars, but it wasn't an option.
