I really really really really wanted this to be a 5 star but it just was off most of the book. I enjoyed Act 1 but I felt like Act 2 and 3 were rushed and under developed compared to Act 1.
I loved the idea of a heist, I like the sprinkling of vampires, and I very much enjoyed Flick and Jin. Even Matteo. However, Arthie didn't really feel fully fleshed our. Everyone else felt very 3 dimensional and Arthie felt like a cardboard cut out.
Over all it definitely gave some good vibes and felt very lush.
