The Crystal Heist is the intriguing story of a thief named Alyra who just wants a change in the messed-up world she lives in. The story takes you with her on several adventures, from prison escapes to heists, all while meeting interesting characters with their own agendas.
While the story itself is intriguing and kept me reading, I will admit that it felt as though the story was lacking in some way—which is why I could only give it a three-star rating. The characters are memorable and the book i ...more
