Binged it after being told to read it time and again by friends. Suffice to say they were very right to tell me to read it.

Fantasy heist is a genre I didn't know I needed, but it brings so much to both genres. The characters are morraly gray and some of the most interesting I've read in a while, you're really rooting for them to succeed. It's really fast paced and will keep you hooked for hours on end, so be ready to set aside a chunk of time for it.

In the end an incredible read worth all the praise.

The main characters condone violence, two of the main characters are shown to have worked in brothels, although not with graphic detail

another has severe trauma regarding physical touch stemming from a specific incident which is discussed

A really good book, but man is it darker than I expected from YA! There was a lot I loved about this book but it felt really strange that all the characters are so young, it felt like that was done just to make it fit the YA category, when the tone and violence are quite intense for YA in my opinion. But it has been a while since I've read much of the genre, evidently things have changed!
