Despite the glamour, the heists, the intrigue, and the betrayals this book is at heart a story about desire. The main characters all intertwine themselves with each other while reaching in opposite directions for what they alone desire.

I recommend this to anyone who enjoys heists in a magical Victorian-esque setting. The jaded edges each character possess are sharp but oh so worth it. I did have some trouble immersing myself in the story and characters at the start, but I once I was hooked I did not want to set the book down.
