Overall this is a great heist story with amazing characters and narrators who really brought it to life. However, I didn't like the ending/set-up for the next book. It doesn't feel like an escalation, since I have trouble picturing how this next task could be more difficult than the one they faced in this book.

after that squicky, toxic relationship of the first three books in this series, I wasn't sure what to expect from this one. It's a huge improvement! all the amazing world-building, fun magic systems, and great side characters from the first ones without a relationship that began with attempted mind-rape! the relationship in this one was a little angsty, that's for sure, but it was at least fun. I really enjoyed this one and I need the next one immediately!

Story
Zero is just one of 20,000 people aboard a spaceship bound for a new planet set to be colonized. The journey is over a century long but luckily, everyone is in stasis, so they’ll be safe and sound asleep during the trip. Everyone that is, except for Zero, whose pod has malfunctioned, waking him up a hundred years early. His initial excitement in roaming the ship alone quickly turns to a heart-stopping interstellar adventure when a family of space pirates show up, trying to hijack the ship and take the colonizers hostage.

Story
At 16, Mina's mother is dead, her magician father is vicious, and her silent heart has never beat with love for anyone—has never beat at all, in fact, but she'd always thought that fact normal. She never guessed that her father cut out her heart and replaced it with one of glass. When she moves to Whitespring Castle and sees its king for the first time, Mina forms a plan: win the king's heart with her beauty, become queen, and finally know love. The only catch is that she'll have to become a stepmother.

I loved the story, and the characters are very compelling, but I feel like a lot of it was over-explained. It could have had a little more subtlety which would have given it a lot of depth, but all the revelations spoon-fed to the reader.

Story
When magic is up, electricity dies, cars stall, and skyscrapers tumble; when it's down, phones and guns work, and defensive spells can't protect your house from the creatures who stalk the streets. Equally dangerous are the competing factions of The Pack - a highly organized and military clan who governs Atlanta's were-bears, -wolves, and -hyenas - versus the Masters of the Dead, power and knowledge-hungry necromancers whose minds control hordes of blood-crazed vampires.
