„She’d laughed, and if he could have bottled the sound and got drunk on it every night, he would have.“

My favourite book of ALL TIME. The characters are so lovable and fantastic, and I absolutely love them. They’re diverse and fully fleshed out—while there are stereotypes, it’s expanded past that. It’s well paced with high stakes and it was great at keeping me invested. Did I mention the characters? Because I love, love, love the characters. The dynamics between characters are also chefs kiss.

I literally just write 2 paragraphs worth of a review and accidentally deleted all of it….:(. Excuse me if this feels less exclusive. Anyway onto the review.
First of all, it took me 3 separate tries and 2 years to get into the book, before I finished it fully, and I am so glad that I did! Following along the journey of these 6 great characters made me so happy, sad, proud, mad, betrayed, empowered, lost, found, amazed, horrified, appalled, terrified, resentful and hopeful. I really liked the way the characters were written with each unique set of skills, quirks, and setbacks. I loved experiencing each characters story(poor Kaz, that was rough) and following their quest(or should I say heist :) ). 
The plot was intriguing and sometimes predictable and sometimes breath-takingly surprising. It was the perfect mix of both. I really loved the mission our characters were on and it kept me interested all the way through. I also loved the representation this book offered(people with disabilities, trauma, mental health problems, gambling addiction, more trauma, abuse, POC, PTSD, and maybe LGBTQ kinda, maybe?). It was a beautiful story and will definitely read the next book in the series.
