I love heists. Movies, novels, documentaries… if there are heists involved, I’m here for it! Thieves’ Gambit had so many of the traits I’d expect with a great heist book: strategy, thrilling twists, and questionable characters with a variety of motives.
The book was quick-paced and oh-so-fun to read, and I loved that different young thieves were set up against each other throughout the competition. This involved some excellent strategy as they all try to one-up the others, leading to some exciting twists and turns.
Now, was it all believable? Maybe not so much. I had to suspend belief more than once during the book, but I honestly didn’t really even care! It was just that fun of a story, with characters you couldn’t help but like even though they were all capable of duplicity.
I quite enjoyed the book and will definitely be watching for book 2 in the future!
