aaaaalmost as good as the first book. there is nothing i disdain more than a heist. it bored me so hard i ended up putting the book down for a good 2 months. funny thing that, as when i did pick it back up, it turned out that the heist nonsense actually ended on the next page... oh...

once past the heist part of the book, the rest was just as good as the first one, i wouldn't say better, just more equal than above. it didn't feel like it tried to "top" the previous installment, just continued the story where it left you, more or less. i am hoping there will be a third one, and i am hoping the last spoiler was a foreshadow.

giving it 4/5 stars because of the damn heist bit.
