Fire & Heist by Sarah Beth Durst
2.0
2.5/5 Stars: ‘Fire & Heist’ is a Young Adult, Fantasy by Sarah Beth Durst; ‘Fire & Heist’ is claimed to be an action-packed tale, placing magical being such as Were-Dragons – or Wyverns – in our current society today; it is a light, easy-to-read story. ‘Fire & Heist’ reads for a younger audience, and the writing style reflects this too, everything is a little too quippy and overly humourous – personally, it reads as a Middle Grade novel. Unfortunately, the execution of such a unique concept felt underwhelming; the idea of Dragons and Heist felt fairly lackluster. The heist felt like a relatively small part of the book, although the heist sections were where the tension and pacing were best. Plus, the characters and their relationships felt a bit one-dimensional and flat. Overall, it was a missed opportunity for a great concept.
