Really excellent young-adult book. I'd compare it, in tone and world building level/type, to the Hunger Games trilogy. The heist was very well executed and described--despite being quite complex, I was able to follow it the whole way, and the author manages to write an extremely intelligent/canny character as believably intelligent and canny. That is a difficult thing to pull off! Finally--I didn't hate any of the characters or get tired of hearing about them or tempted to stop reading the book because of them. That happens semi-frequently, so, yay! :)
