It's a heist book! Our favorite librarian aka professional book thief finally gets her heist story. And if you take away the flying dragons and magic, it's almost a fast and furious novel with car chases, guns and violence.

As far as filler goes, this is pretty much a standalone novel. We do get to meet Irene's parents for the first time but it was a downer. I mean, spies don't tell secrets and expecting some revelation was probably wrong of me.

But the stories move along. Our characters grow more and there is a war brewing somewhere and we are barreling headlong towards it

As with all the other books in the series, I started reading and I couldn't stop. It helped that there was an exciting heist, but the revelations about dragonkind and the surprise agreement at the end of the book (which I will let you find out about) left me wringing my hands until Winter 2020!

Definitely start this series from the beginning to understand the evolution of the relationships. It will be a much more satisfying read.
