Not really a 10/10 book, but definitely the fantasy book I most enjoyed reading these last 2-3 years.
It has an Abercrombie feel in its worldbuilding and a Black Company in its characters and it might be described, as many did, as fantasy Peeky Blinders. It might also be described as 85% grimdark (not full cause there are clearly good guys and bad guys and the good guys win) and, even though not that complex, it is not simplistic, either.
It is for me much, much better than Locke Lamora, but it would definitely appeal to that series' fans (as to Brent Weeks ones and definitely Cook's).
It also sports a truly diverse cast which for once does not seem forced fed to the reader just cause it's a must, like in most fiction lately, but naturally occuring.
Recommended. I'll start on the sequel right on.
