5.0
Short but excellent, the perfect pace for a bite-sized heist. I would die to see this as a movie. Fascinating alternative history premise with a charming cast of characters.
Some parts of the mystery/plot don't make a ton of sense - but in the way that makes the characters believably flawed, rather than criminal masterminds.
The nonbinary representation was particularly excellent - I've read few like it.

Content Warnings
Moderate: Child death, Pregnancy, and Animal death
Less a warning than an endorsement, there is only one instance of near misgendering of the nonbinary character(quickly corrected), but no other. A rarity with this kind of character, especially in the time period, so it was exciting to me!
