special thanks to NetGalley and Del Rey Random House Publishing Group for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
the premise of the story was interesting, but there was a poor execution overall. i was confused 70% of the time with all the introduction of random characters and subplots. i had to push myself to get past the first 30% of the book because it was so bland.
also, magic? i really believe that this could have been a unique heist story but because of the unnecessary addition of magic, it all fell flat.
and personally, i'm disappointed with who she chose in the end.
tldr: i was excited when i first started reading but in the end, it wasn't for me. bummer.
