Aces Wild: A Heist by Amanda DeWitt
3.25
adventurous funny fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: Yes

I enjoyed these characters and their dynamics so much, which is good because frankly I found the plot to be a bit lacking. I feel like marketing it as a heist book is a tiny bit misleading, since there wasn’t as much heist activity as I was expecting. However, I really did love the characters and how wholesome the depiction of queerness and family dynamics was. 

Overall, if you’re looking for a quick, fun, feel-good read, definitely pick this up. But if you’re looking for heist books like Six of Crows, it might be a bit disappointing.
