Fire & Heist

Fire & Heist

Sarah Beth Durst

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

In Sky Hawkins's family, leading your first heist is a major milestone--even more so than learning to talk, walk, or do long division. It's a chance to gain power and acceptance within your family, and within society. But stealing your first treasure can be complicated, especially when you're a wyvern--a human capable of turning into a dragon. Embarking on a life of crime is never easy, and Sky discovers secrets about her mother, who recently went missing, the real reason her boyfriend broke up with her, and a valuable jewel that could restore her family's wealth and rank in their community. With a handpicked crew by her side, Sky knows she has everything she needs to complete her first heist, and get her boyfriend and mother back in the process. But then she uncovers a dark truth about were-dragon society--a truth more valuable and dangerous than gold or jewels could ever be.

    This was okay. I think I skimmed most of this but I don’t think I missed anything by doing that. I wasn’t a huge fan of the writing style or the world. I just thought it was weird...I am not a huge fan of mixing fantasy and our world together ( I just don’t get along with urban fantasy) and the way this integrated modern earth into the world of dragons was super weird. The first 100 pages of this was just not really gripping me, but I mostly wanted to know what happened to sky’s mom so I kept reading. The last bit was good but I just didn’t connect with these teenage characters...which in itself isn’t the books fault, but there were so many other things that just didn’t work for me.
