About this audiobook

From the author of The Disasters, this genre-bending YA fantasy heist story is perfect for fans of Marie Lu and Amie Kaufman.

In Kyrkarta, magic—known as maz—was once a freely available natural resource. Then an earthquake released a magical plague, killing thousands and opening the door for a greedy corporation to make maz a commodity that’s tightly controlled—and, of course, outrageously expensive.

Which is why Diz and her three best friends run a highly lucrative, highly illegal maz siphoning gig on the side. Their next job is supposed to be their last heist ever.

But when their plan turns up a powerful new strain of maz that (literally) blows up in their faces, they’re driven to unravel a conspiracy at the very center of the spellplague—and possibly save the world.

No pressure.

    I loved this! A tight-knit chosen family, a protagonist who's kind of a mess, a desperate bid to stop a disaster, and awesome nonbinary representation, all in an intriguing setting that blends elemental magic with a cyberpunk vibe.

    Overall, I liked this book, but I couldn't quite love it. The story and world-building were great, with a group of rebellious teen thieves going up against a corporation in a world plagued with earthquakes, natural disasters, and dangerous magic. I liked the combination of technology and magic - there are techwitches and devices that run on magic. What I found frustrating is the central character of Diz, who (likely because of being orphaned at a young age) lacks confidence in her relationships with her friends and spends much of the book thinking they were about to abandon her or were mad at her. I really wanted her to work through some of her emotions a little quicker, but I guess she and her friends were somewhat distracted by their attempts to save the world. I suspect this book is the first in a series and I might just have to continue reading to discover more about this world.
