Absolutely delightful, a fantasy heist story with distinct Leverage tones (and I mean that in the best way possible) and really compelling characters! The character voices were all really distinctive, and I was super impressed by how each character’s POV chapters really felt like they were from different people. And a good heist is hard to write, and this book really pulled it off! I also enjoyed the further worldbuilding of the Grishaverse (a name that does, unfortunately, make me laugh). Once I got over the characters apparently being 17 (some of the very overwrought and dramatic narration is funnier than it is intended to be given that the characters are teenagers), I enjoyed this book a lot.
