This is the most 3-star book I've ever read. Most books there is something that draws me a bit to leaning one way or another, even if it rounds to 3 stars. But for everything that was done well in this book there was something perfectly counterbalancing it for me. A fun read, but I don't think I'll be coming back for more of this series. It read very much like a first draft... so I hope Wilker continues to hone his craft and perhaps I'll come back for other books!

*Mild Spoilers* I enjoyed the characters well enough, but they all were essentially the same personality. I just happened to enjoy that personality. The heist was interesting enough, but the way the POVs were handled made it drag. I thought the backstory was intriguing. But it was presented in a very odd and disconnected way that didn't add anything to the rest of the story. The character's feelings were relatable, but often told in the most "telling not showing" way... so it was hard to actually relate.
