Y’all I am so hyped after finishing this book! It is pure chaos, but in the absolute best way. I believe Brennan’s general goal for the plot was “misdirection” because - much like The Golden Cobra - she loves to give us the ol’ razzle dazzle while preparing to hit us with the twist she was hiding behind her back. It’s fantastic! It kept me on my toes at all times because literally every character is a wildcard. I’m not even sure you can call any of them side characters because everyone is important. I loved the multiple POVs, and the snippets from the “original book” at the beginning of each chapter. Both gave really good insight into each character. This book also took  “morally grey” to a whole new level while showcasing how life is not simply black and white. Everyone has at least some villain in them, and everyone is the villain in someone else’s story.  Key is my favorite and by far the most insanely chaotic member of the group. Seriously, total CHAOS and I am here for it! Also, I’m going to need Viper Squad shirts, jackets, etc. 
Moira Quirk does a great job capturing everyone’s individual tone and bringing the silly, insane vibes to life. I cannot wait for book 2!
