Ilustration Toward Books The Palace Job (Rogues of the Republic #1)
The most powerful man in the republic framed her, threw her in prison, and stole a priceless elven manuscript from her family.With the help of a crack team that includes an illusionist, a unicorn, a death priestess, a talking warhammer, and a lad with a prophetic birthmark, Loch must find a way into the floating fortress of Heaven's Spire–and get past the magic-hunting golems and infernal sorcerers standing between her and the vault that holds her family's treasure.
It'd be tricky enough without the military coup and unfolding of an ancient evil prophecy–but now the determined and honourable Justicar Pyvic has been assigned to take her in.
But hey, every plan has a few hitches.
"From one of the writers that brought you the critically acclaimed Mass Effect [video game] trilogy comes a new Fantasy twist on the Heist genre."

Former scout captain Loch (described as a woman of color; I picture her like Zoe Washburn from FIREFLY) and her buddy Kail go out to gather a crew in order to steal a manuscript from the most power, and corrupt, figure in the Republic, who rules from a castle in an airborne city.Secrets and powers fly around like lightning and thunder as the story unfolds at breakneck pace.The voice is terrific, vivid and funny, the heroes awesome; they are painted in somewhat broad strokes, and I was confusedDear Mister Weekes,I did not expect to fall in love with this book but you have me ensared... these characters wormed their way into my heart fairly quickly and would not let go. Each one of them is BookFamily to me now :)The world building in here is gorgeous and rich, it's easy to sink in and walk the streets... to believe in the magical aspects of the whole thing and to root for the characters (and curse the villains ;-))Silestin: Despicable man but truly believing in what he was doing...
Ok peeps, I've read two chapters and this seems to be a mess, all sorts of odd things just thrown in. And it lost me with the shapeshifting unicorn who wants to deflower virgins. I'll admit it's a clever twist on the unicorn/virgin myth - but also a very sickening and disturbing one.Sorry, I just don't think this kind of thing is funny. I am really, really over the whole men putting a premium on virginity like women are simply commodities thing. Really. Over. It. And this *twist* is giving me

Well that was fun!The Palace Con is about Isafesira de Lochenville (also known as Loch), who is serving her time in prison, set up by a man who stole her inheritance. But when she escapes, she begins to assemble a crack team involving a unicorn, a young thief, a death priestess and a wizard in order to get back what was taken from her.This book reminds me slightly as a cross between Ocean's Eleven and Gentlemen Bastards. It is witty, and while the humor is not on the same level as Scott Lynch

Thanks to entirely mixed reviews among my friends, I ended up shelving this as do-not-read. However, when Amazon offered it as a daily deal, I forgot the details of why I didn't want to read it and decided to see for myself. Concerns included a personal peeve--multiple viewpoints--and a sense that racial issues, while included, are not handled particularly well. Still, a heist often makes for an intriguing and fun read.A lock-man, a second-storey operator, and somebody who can jigger with the
