Although it took me time to get into the book, and I had to restart it a couple of times, I enjoyed it. Chokshi writes with so much detail while remaining concise, making the novel easier to follow. The characters are well-built and have their own identities, which are all equally important in the grand scheme of things. I loved that there were several side plots within the large heist. For example, there are a couple of romances (spoiler) like Laila and Severin, Enrique and Zofia, and even Hypnos. These are not the book's primary focus, which I like since it would make all of their tight-knit friendships very awkward. The story does start slow and end fast, but I have gotten the second book in the series so I will see how it goes!

“Take what the world owes you by any means necessary,” Pride had said. “The world has a shit memory. It will never pay its debts unless you force its hand.”

Wow, I’m speechless. Why do every found family story has end with everyone getting heartbroken? Why? Why not let them be happy all together?

I certainly need my heart nursed back into fullness.

maybe, I’ll do detailed review later, I’m too heartbroken right now. TwT
