This is the story of one of the greatest heists of all time. Kaz Brekker, a young criminal mastermind, knows anything can happen for the right price. When he is challenged to get into an impenetreble fortress for an outrageous amount of money, Kaz knows the job will be dangerous and difficult. However, with the right team, he knows he can accoomplish the impossible. His team is made up of an unlikely group of misfits: a deadly spy, an unlikely sharpshooter, an angry convict, a powerful magician, and an inexperienced runaway. If they can figure out how to work together, their mission will not only make them rich beyond their wildest dream, but also, it will save their world. If not, their futures and future of humanity is bleak. Although I did not love Badrugo's first series, I fell in love with this one because I loved the characters she created in this world. Each of them are struggling to overcome their tragic history, and ironically, it is only through their criminal work that each of them finds redemption and hope. Of course, my favorites are the mercilessly cunning Kaz and the deadly spy Inej. The sequel, Crooked Kingdom, mastefully completes the tale. A brilliantly woven story, I highly recommend this series.
