WAS I MISSING SOMETHING?

I spent the entire book thinking I was missing some critical aspects of information? I know this is set in the same world as The Bone Houses (which I have read) so I’m not sure if that’s where the background info was but without what I thought I needed this book was lackluster.

And I tend to love heist books?! I do find them hard to accomplish in one book only 400 pages though. Especially when you add in multiple points of view. Many characters + many backgrounds + many different decision makers makes for not enough time spent on each character to get a true feel and depth for them.

Some of the plot pieces were kind of cool. I liked the idea and think others might enjoy this book much more than I did. There’s some good friendship rekindling and a tiny dash of romance.

Nothing surprising or overly enchanting for me. I never got frustrated with it (which is why three stars over two), it just needed a lot more for me to love it.

Overall audience notes:
- YA Fantasy
- Language: very little
- Romance: kisses
- Violence: mild
