I was worried at first that this book would follow the same formula as the first (dashing rogues working towards a mad heist only to be forced into a scheme bigger than them by a powerful third party) but I was pleasantly surprised. Also pleasantly surprised to see more representation in this installation. To think that a book published in 2007 has better queer rep than most books published today. sigh. I have to say though, I'm not a big fan of Lynch's reoccurring habit of offing prominent female characters. First the Capa's daughter, now Ezri. I dread for Sabetha's sake in the next book lol.
