This book is a fantasy take on a heist novel. It was okay, but the story was not my cup of tea. If you do like heist books, though, this is probably the book for you.

Main characters of color, an elaborate heist, magic of all shapes and sizes, more double crossings than you can imagine, witty dialogue and exciting action sequences make this book an incredible tale to fall into. I'm a bit confused as to how this is a series since the end got wrapped up neatly, but I'm interested to see what happens.

This was a good story that while not breaking new ground was still a pleasurable read.

The Palace Job was so incredibly fun. It was like The Lies of Locke Lamora for a younger, less serious audience. I was laughing out loud at parts. I loved the characters and their interactions, I loved the plot and need more. I found myself grinning as I was reading, and laughing out loud at parts. I have't had this much FUN reading in a very long time.
