I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is the continuation of a short story I read earlier this year: Underwater Restorations. Now we’re back with Isa, Puo, and Winn after their misadventures in the last story have led them to a new city. Enough background info is provided that you don’t need to read the first story but it is helpful if you do.
For me, I never really connected with any of the characters so that's why this gets a lower rating. There's just something missing in their development that I couldn't totally get on board.
Still, it's a very unique story which is what most interested me in this series, and I know there will be much in store for wherever the next book takes off!

The heist story part of this book was fast-paced and fun, and really kept me guessing even after I thought I'd had it figured out. I also really enjoyed the character of Puo, the protagonist's best friend and tech buddy.
However, the protagonist herself and her love interest were both so irritating that if the heist plot hadn't been so interesting I would have dropped this book about halfway through. Isa is self-absorbed and awful to nearly everyone around her (especially other women) and for someone raised into crime she is TERRIBLE at not being noticed because she like can't resist being rude all the time. Winn's appearance is enough to suck all the joy out of any section he appears in. He is sullen and miserable and constantly either yelling or withdrawn. I have no idea what these two saw in each other.
