I loved The Tower of the Raven. I'm not sure I'm willing to commit to as big of a series as Dresden files, but I appreciate the rec!

Oh yeah, I've read that one before. Definitely a really neat magic system.

I looked it up and amazon says book four isn't coming out until October of next year? I guess that leaves plenty of time for rereading...

Y'know, I've heard a lot about Sanderson's books, but have never heard about any heisting. Maybe it's time to finally get into his books. Thanks for the rec

I have not! I'm guessing Nemesis can't really be read as a standalone? I'll look into it regardless

 

I want to hear about your favorite books that include heists as a major element. Bonus points if it's set in a fantasy, sci-fi, or non-contemporary setting. (Basically I want something like Gentleman Bastards that's not just rereading Gentleman Bastards)

How the Word Is Passed by Clint Smith. Smith travels to eight places in America and one abroad to understand how each reckons with its relationship with American slavery and the linger effects in the present.

I'm also enjoying The Bird Way by Jennifer Ackerman.
