If anyone’s curious, the kind-of-tarot is on the author’s website! I’d love to hear if you decide to do it. Link:
Edit upon rereading: I just LOVE this book. I’m never going to stop screeching incoherently about how much I love it. The characters, the plot, the setting� everything about it is just perfect in every way.
If you want Six of Crows meets the Lies of Locke Lamora, this is the book for you. I don’t know how this book isn’t hyped more- it’s absolutely one of my favorite books.
I was surprised to like this because there were so many negative reviews about slow pacing and people being confused. I felt the opposite- the world was so well developed that I felt like a part of every con.
The found family in this book!! Is just so adorable and definitely reminded me of the Crows. If you liked the Dregs (and especially Kaz and Inej), you’ll love this book.
It’s also queer-normative, which is also a huge plus! Every character felt so multidimensional and so real.
Bottom line: Read this book if you like fantasy, con artists, found family, tragic backstories, tarot, and Six of Crows.

"Vargo is literally just a more jaded, older version of Kaz Brekker.
(That’s why he’s definitely a favorite!)"
