An absolutely fun read, and so refreshing to read an ace-positive book, let alone an ace-centric one.
Protagonist Jack is a bit of an aspiring Kaz Brekker, though in personality he’s a bit more like Wylan. There is more of a “heist vibe” than a specific heist, and the vibrant setting provides all the highlights of Vegas without ever having to go to Vegas. Win-win.
