This book features an all female group of rebels forced into heist jobs spanning the galaxy.
While I liked the outline of the story, the implementation felt removed and the characters leaned on cliche. Aspects of setting, government, characters, etc reminded me of other stories, rather than becoming its own independent thing. Generally the characters were thin and the universe felt like a backdrop rather than a fully fleshed out world. I am not normally a predictor of plot and I guessed the ending within the first few chapters - the setup was too similar to other stories.
I might read the second in the duology in hopes that the world is more vivid, but the characters and the story are not pulling me back.

okkk immediate thoughts upon finishing: the ending was fire 🔥the last 100 pages were so good!
although I did find the story a bit boring at times, I mostly enjoyed it. we love strong queer women bringing down an empire ✨

A delightful cast of diverse characters, fascinating world-building and an action-packed adventure. Just the kind of escapism I needed this week.
