This book had me all sorts of confused and I STRUGGLED so hard to read this book. It literally took me from November 20th to December 12th to read! AH! So long. I did finish.
First off, the world-building was utterly confusing. I honestly had almost no clue where they were and what was going on. The "secret society" type thing going on with the Order in this book had me absolutely lost. It barely gave us any information into who they are or why they are. Then you go and throw magic and a heist on top of that, and it really threw me off.
The characters also didn't stick with me and I found myself not caring for any of them or what happened to them. Overall this one was just meh for me. I actually only pushed through reading it, because the publisher sent me the 2nd book in the series to read and review. Hopefully the second book is better than the first. Fingers crossed.
