This book was absolutely AMAZING!
Everything from the back story regarding why Leslye Penelope decided to call her FMC Clara to the magical system.
I mean seriously, who would say no to a magical heist set during the Harlem Renaissance???
Every character were perfectly crafted, and I really enjoyed the small snippets that helped introduce the majority of the "crew members" from their birth to them getting their Charms/Tricks (well except for Zelda 👀, IYKYK)
The magic system of Enigmas, Grays, Over There, and Second Sight was easy enough to understand and splendidly from the very early beginning of the book, which made diving into it so much easier.
10/10 would recommend
I'll soon be looking at the rest of the author's work under L. Penelope ☺️
