Very disappointing read.
The premise was really compelling but the execution lacked everything.

I really enjoyed this- a daring heist set in a time period I love on the Titanic.
I think knowing that the sinking was coming added to the intrigue for me- I was terrified for the whole group the whole way through.

I loved this book. It was such a good read and, if I wasn't on vacation and running around doing All the Things, I might've finished it in one day. The characters are so good. I want to read more of Jaigirdar's work. Henna Wars is on my TBR, iirc, so will hop over there soon, hopefully. My faves were definitely Hinnah and Josefa, who reminds me of one of my wife's Pathfinder characters (an Irish accent pickpocket lol, except Tthalia's the stereotypical short redhead.) (Btw, is it pronounced Joe-see-fuh, like my hillbilly brain insists, Yoh-see-fah, or Joe-see-fah with a harsh J like bonjour?)

The fact that it takes place on the titanic takes away from the heist aspect of it. Would have been better as one or the other. Characters go through development and grow but it kind of comes out of nowhere, doesn't feel like genuine growth but something that just happens for the sake of character development.
