I loved this sequel to the Thieves gambit. Somehow it seemed to fall into place more easily than the first book, possibly because I already knew most of the main characters and it was great to see how their relationships changed and progressed. With suspense, romance, frenemies and regular heists there is plenty of action on every page and it’s hard to put the book down! While we do thankfully see more of Ross and Davroe and their enemies to lovers story; it is also the friendships Ross has with others including Noelia and Kyung-soon that I particularly enjoyed reading. Ross frequently learns and experiences more about the value of friends and loyalty including in several life and death situations, and learns she doesn’t have to follow her mums lead with trusting nobody. Clever writing with several scary moments and nice twists along the way! Thanks to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster (Australia) for my ARC copy in exchange for this review.

I enjoyed this one! I love a good heist and Lewis did a good job to make the second book different to the first (it did not feel repetitive). I loved getting more dynamics between already met characters and I did quite like the conclusion to this duology.
