YA
Unscrupulous merchant Jan Van Eck not only refuses to pay Kaz Brekker (Six of Crows) for his just-completed heist but also holds his crewmate hostage to force him to hand over the object of the heist, scientist Kuwei. This sequel opens up the motivations of the six-person band of thieves. Bardugo has a clear, slightly sardonic voice and a knack for hooking readers.
