Enjoyable, but fell flat. Simplistic writing, flat characters, had little invested in the story. Ended up skimming and skipping entire areas due to boredom. The end was good, but the pace until then was slow. The characters were under developed and bland. Felt more juvenile with its writing

Magic corgi on an oceans 11 / six of crows heist  where the MC doesn’t lose their powers at the end? Hell yes! Bi rep so natural it had me weeping to see. Like hell yes to see characters like me just accept sexuality without addressing it or making a huge fuss over it. No surprise or second guessing. Loved that aspect so much. Only reason I took a half star off was for the predictable plot twist but I was so throughly enjoying the read that I didn’t even mind that I figured it out so far in advance.

i am truly and utterly in love with this book! it has everything i could ever want from a book: captivating writing, a heist (!!!), casual queerness, a plot that keeps me on my toes, and all the emotions i could ever want! 
i love every part of it and i can’t wait to reread it and be drawn back into this world.
