The Best Thing You Can Steal by Simon R. Green
3.0
This is a perfect "brain off, fun on" book. The characters are interesting and easy to love, but there isn't enough emotional depth to get too attached. The plot was interesting and kept the pages turning, but there wasn't a lot of depth to explore. The world was interesting, but super easy to set up and explain.
Basically, if you're looking for a really quick and easy read, this is a great book to do that. That exact part holds it back from being truly great though. If this book wanted to be spectacular it would need so much more: emotions, excitement, hurdles to overcome, depth in characters and the world, etc. It isn't a bad book, but it could be so much better.
