To be quite honest, I find the marketing a bit misleading for Sons of Liberty. It's compared to Six of Crows and Red Queen, and while I think it has elements of both, to compare it to those books does this one a disfavor because Sons of Liberty is so much more than a heist with some magic thrown in.
The characters are definitely the highlight of the story. I didn't know it was multiple POV until I started reading it and was pleasantly surprised. Hamilton was my favorite character, but I liked them all (and I can't wait to see them truly develop in book two).
Definitely worth a read for anyone looking for a fantasy heist novel with hints of a revolution!
