3.5 to 4. I definitely enjoyed the first one more but I still love this crew. In the author, interview in the back, she mentions that she had to write this book quickly, or at least more quickly, and near the end, you could feel that as a reader.

Kaz is a fun and darkly damaged Jonny Ocean character, but some things just felt too slick. Even when she has them tripped up and failing in the middle, he still felt too smooth.

Spoiler-ish:

The character death at the end felt random, rushed, and almost forced. Like she couldn’t allow all of them to make it out, there had to be some loss, but it didn’t seem like it carried the gravity it should have. If that’s how it was going to go down, I think she should’ve just let them all live.
