Mega disappointed with that ending
This book was getting really good, scraping a 4 stars because the first 60% was incredibly confusing , the world building was bad , I couldn't even imagine the story as I read it . The characters were the best bit for me , but then the author did something so random which is usually done in the last book not the first book wtf
It was defo avoidable
As I said the book was confusing I was reading gibberish for the most part but when we actaully got to the main bit 80% of the way through I was loving it , the character dynamic and everything was amazing.
The characters carried this book , which is why I will be reading the next book lol

Honestly, I was confused throughout this book. I had no idea who is who and what is what. It's almost a reminiscence of reading Da Vinci Code for the first time, where I had no idea what is going on due to the onslaught of different languages and fancy term. However, I absolutely adore Da Vinci Code. Thus, it is not a surprise that I really enjoy this book too.
What really captured my attention were the characters. I never really realized I'm a sucker for the found family trope. This book definitely delivers, with an impressive BIPOC and queer representation. I adore all characters except for Tristan, which turned out to have a significant role at the end and I had zero feelings for him.
I feel like it could be better if there were little to no foreshadowing during the heist. It was too obvious to me that things are not going to go down nicely, and that dampers my expectations as I was mentally preparing for the damage control. The impact would be greater for me if I had not see it coming.
Overall, I really enjoy it. I will check out the next book to see how it progresses.

Dialogue gave corny action movie and too boring and the confusing/unexplained lore made this book a snoozefest
