This was charming! Each character was so fun, and the balance between them remained excellent throughout. The narrator did a fantastic job making all of them unique. I read this for the Reddit Fantasy Bingo 2024 challenge, but I will definitely be reading the rest of the series as well. Hilarious and delightful.

I think I could probably push myself to finish it but I find myself not looking forward to reading it. I have to force myself and I have such a long list of books I want to read that I think it's best I draw the line with this one. 40% I feel gave it enough chance to pull me in. It was hard to follow the characters or feel invested in any of them.

Saw a tweet, bought the book for cheap and was very pleasantly surprised at how freaking fun and adventurous it was. I stayed up til 1am to finish. And it was worth the lost sleep. Definitely going to continue on with the series.

I really liked it and thought it had some genuinely funny moments, but I found a lot of it hard to follow, probably because of the sheer volume of the characters and the constant perspective shifting. Still, it's a good romp and the characters have great personality, so I plan on reading the second installment.

I sort of feel like The Palace Job is the weird love child of Ocean's 11 and WoW.
I enjoyed the humor in the book a lot and found myself having to silence my laughter at times. I enjoyed reading about all of the characters and was entertained throughout the entire book. There was a nice amount of twists and turns that kept it interesting, and I didn't ever feel bored with it. In the beginning, however, I felt lost like I was missing details of the world it's self to get immersed in the story. Eventually, the details come out through the story, but for a decent part, I felt like maybe I had started in the middle of a series or spin-off series.
