slowshows 's review for:

Portrait of a Thief by Grace D. Li

2.0

---

it's a shame, as this was one of my most anticipated releases this year, but it just didn't hit the mark. i will admit somewhere halfway through i really just started skimming, but some of the plot points seemed nonsensical, as did the actions and behaviour of some of the characters. some of the actions really made me ask myself if there was some research put into this, because as a heist, none of this is even remotely believable.
the cover is absolutely gorgeous tho!
