"I finally see the Ally Carter comparisons. Travelling Europe and art forgery rings are very Heist Society. Heist Society is probably my favourite form of escapism. But I don't like this as much as Heist Society. In the leadup to the climax I was drifting further and further towards sleep though it was midmorning, and while I was tired, normally I wouldn't be doing that. Because of that, I missed a lot, and I don't even care to listen back. That ending is wild enough I might keep reading, but this might be the end for me because honestly I simply don't care that much."

"Overall a decent story, however the ending is very confusing. Hoping the next book in series clears a few things up. "
