I fucking loved this shit!!!

The world is super interesting, although initially overwhelming it really grips you (since I watched the show years back I feel I had an advantage so for totally new readers it would be more tough)
Complex characters with interesting relationship dynamics ♡♡
Cool heist with lots of different elements and "oh shit what now" moments that I love
Pretty satisfying ending with a great setup for the next book!

I'm gonna start reading book 2 now ;))

Leigh Bardugo

Translations of (partly) Dutch term

Hey everyone I would love to know if this post is a good idea or not/at the right place!

So I'm Dutch and Ketterdam/Kech is largely based on the Amsterdam/the Netherlands and Leigh actually used a lot of Dutch names (Joost, Rutger) but also partly Dutch words so I thought I would put some translations here as I come across them in the book! These are obviously not necessary to understand the book but I figured people might find it interesting to know.

Ketterdam: ketter = heretic Geldstraat: geld = money, straat = street stadwatch: stad = city beurscanal: beurs = (stock) exchange

I'm a STEM girlie (microbiology specifically) so I actually really enjoyed The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood because from what I remember the science aspects were accurate!! I also freaking loved Project Hail Mary because Grace is literally a microbiologist and the science was super freaking cool since I also enjoy space!

So far I haven't read a biology focused fiction book that fucked the science up because that would really irritate me (like that one scene in the PHM movie lol)
