Fantastic. I read the thing in one sitting and couldn't put it down. By 1 am, I was about 75% of the way through, and knew there was no turning back. The last quarter of the book, if not more of it, is a complete page turner, with the action building and twisting in delightfully complex ways. The action is so well written! And the style of each chapter told from a different character's perspective is masterfully done. It wasn't until the last chapter that I even consciously realized they were told in third person, because the narration was so personal and pulled me in so intimately, I felt like I was the first person character.

Taking off a half point because I am not sure this needed to be a YA book. I think she could have aged the characters up and gone a little deeper with them.
A fun found family fantasy heist book! I was surprised when each chapter was in a different characters perspective, but I ended up caring for each of them enough to enjoy that. It was a fun read, I look forward to the next one.
