This was a weird book. It was a heist, but a very underwhelming heist. Maybe I’m used to the kind of heists from fantasy books that are a lot more epic and intricate. 
I did not like Jack, and his whole plan of revenge seemed a little too unreasonable to me. I did, however, really like the other characters. They were very fun and my highlight of the book. And we love a lot of ace representation. 
The ending was a bit disappointing as well. I thought, after the rest not being that epic yet, the finale would be more mind blowing than it ended up being. 
I think I can summarise this book by falling a little flat.
