Emotionally, this book is 5 stars; if I really break it down, it's slightly less than 5 stars. I love a heist book, I love a little motley crew moment. As I was reading, I felt like I was missing bits and pieces of information, but then it all made sense because the things I felt I was missing ended up being integral parts of various reveals/twists. So I can forgive the feeling of being a bit lost for a while. I wish 2/5 of the heist crew characters got developed better; I think this lack of feeling of development came from the other 3/5 having chapters written from their POV. So the two POV-less characters feel less fleshed out because we don't get to read from inside their brain. 

Never go into a book expecting it to be as good as Six of Crows but if you liked Six of Crows...... you maybe might consider enjoying this book a little bit. As long as you go in knowing THIS IS NOT SOC.
