Erg leuk boek vond ik!
adventurous mysterious sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

The ending was kind of confusing, and I couldn't figure out the plot twist. Wish it explained it more.

While a really exciting premise, I felt like the pacing was all over the place in between actual heists/thieving events, I was often bored and anxious to skip forward to the next one. I also had trouble really connecting with any of the characters.

The actual heists and thievery parts were fun and cool and exciting!

*Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book to review.*

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for this e-ARC!
3.5 stars rounded down

So, I got this as an ARC, which I don't understand since the book had been published for a bit prior to me getting it, but whatever? XD

This is a really fun thieving adventure! I can't say the cast was super fleshed out, but they were enjoyable to read about. Each of the various trials were fresh from the other and fun to see the solutions and opponent/teammate interactions.

Not all the twists and betrayals really hit home for me. Some were well set up, but others I felt less invested in. It may fall under the fact one was less set up and more just us constantly being told there was a gut instinct about the thing.

Still fun. Still plan to read the sequel. Still recommend for those who like these type of books. There was just nothing that really made me fired up about this book vs others, you know?

This gave me major money heist vibes and I loved it!!
I loved the authors writing style and the quests were so exciting.
I liked the characters and the plottwists.
But I wished the whole background story behind the people who organized the gambit would have been more explained.
Who are they?? Why are they doing this ???
I’m excited for the next book
