The Prophecy Con

The main story was good, but it was the characters that I LOVED. After reading the first book of the series I thought it was just going to be another build up to a heist job. But coming into this second story I didn't need to learn these characters but, instead, got to know them even better. Each character different and imperfect and radiant. Can't wait to get into the third book.

Reread in July 2021

I...really enjoy this series. Honestly, I wish I could find more books like these: fun books that don't shy away from things. (Also that have a healthy dose of diversity.)

Anyway, like the second book more than the first because everyone seems fleshed out better and like they are in less of a comedy fantasy book and more in a fantasy book where comedy things happen (like, all the time).

Other than that, I just can't figure out why it's taken me so long to reread this series because it is fun!

(Side note: I dithered about adding my m/m tag to this book, but there is a couple scenes between a pov male character and another male character wherein they are going to find a room to rent (and there's enough blushing and innuendo that you know what the room is for) - this is, really, neither more or less attention given to any other pairing in the book - except for Loch's romance, I don't think any of the others have been seen kissing. (Except the manipulator in the first book. I think there was a kiss there.) Anyway, I think you can tell how uncertain I am if I should have this tag here, but it does meet all my requirements and...I had half forgotten about this until I started rereading the series. So, for now, it stays.)
