”You’re actually nothing but a hypocrite. You only pretend to help people, from your comfortable estate. You hand out scraps to make yourself look good, but you don’t actually want anything to change, because you benefit from it. From the wealth and from the appearance of charity.”

”I wanted to be soft, easy. But that’s not who I am. That’s not who I ever was. I am a warrior, a fighter, a killer.” 😒
There are so many times that are say thing like ”I’m this…” or ”He/she’s that” but there is no actual showing! They’re supposedly ”the best” thieves there are but we’ve only seen them attempt one heist, a poorly planned heist and a failed one at that!!

So far I’m disappointed this is nothing like Six of Crows, a Magic Steeped in Poison or the Gilded Wolves, as described in the blurb of the book. Nor is it similar to the Girl who fell Beneath the Sea as I had hoped from the cover and speaking about the cover I’m disappointed that most of the book isn’t even set in the beautiful, underwater city we see on the cover 🥲

”The Gilded Wolves meets a Magic steeped in Poison”?? With a oceanic kingdom like in the Girl who fell Beneath the Sea??? Now I may have too high hopes but I really hope it’s similar to those books!!
