This book was everything for me. A thrilling heist story, complete with a stunning setting and delightful nods to history and art. The cast of characters (because every heist story needs a large, well developed crew) was fantastic, each having their own backstory and believable goals. I was completely sucked in, rooting for them and waiting for the inevitable catastrophe-turned-twist (because again, it's what every heist story needs). Even knowing the twist was coming, I was second guessing myself and going back to previous chapters to see what I might have missed. I was truly along for the ride with this one and I want a billion more. I don't care if it was maybe a bit predictable - again, it's a heist story - and a well done one at that. 

Thanks to NetGalley and Feiwel & Friends (Macmillan) for the e-ARC! This is my completely honest review.
