On the surface, an entertaining heist fantasy where a group of teenage magic thieves stumble on a conspiracy that they have to stop before it destroys the world. But it's also a viciously emotional story about loss, fear, friendship, and love. I can see how some people might find the emotions over-the-top and Diz's reactions ridiculous, but I found them spot-on to my experience with Borderline Personality Disorder. Even though I could see where Diz was making things harder for herself, I could relate. A solid read all around.

Moderate: Chronic illness, Death, Terminal illness, and Death of parent
Minor: Ableism, Gun violence, and Excrement

I am apparently reading England's books in reverse order of when they were published so I guess I'm onto the Disasters next haha!
This book was so fun, but dealt with some really heavy topics! I didn't particularly love Dizzy, the MC, but I do think she grew a lot over the course of the book. I really loved Remi and the rest of Dizzy's found family/heist crew! I can't help but think I would have enjoyed this more if told from Remi's pov instead of Dizzy's.
The world building is really interesting and I love the blend of sci-fi and fantasy! This is kind of a bit of cyberpunk, too, which is really fun! I enjoyed the plot a lot and loved the parts about magic and tech! Great book!
