I’m just not one for heist stories. This one also felt a little all over the place with the plot. The lore didn’t quite work for me either and the last fifty or so pages felt off. I think this can be a fun read for others, but it just wasn’t quite for me.

This should have been one book. I found the exaggeration of the story so long winded. I’m very glad I read the spark notes (literally) of the second book instead of wasting my time.
