Thanks to PRH International for sending me this eARC. I feel like this book is just fine, the prose, the pacing and story is just solidly fine. I need some stakes, a spark, something to shock me out of my seat. What I did enjoy though was the exploration of Jaipur, and the discussion of art pieces stolen and the impact that has had. To loan someone's stuff to them that you have stolen is BEYOND insulting!!!!
