Just wanted to give a quick shout-out to the backgrounds in this series, while I'm thinking of it; they're really nice, and they're not something that's easy to do, even if there's some kind of shortcut in place.

Those Rowden Royals were just suicidally stupid, weren't they? Flat-out too dumb to live. I'm honestly surprised this society isn't straight-up Mad Max chaos. Either there's something behind the scenes that we haven't seen yet, or the author is playing a bit fast and loose with societal development.

This heist should be interesting- wonder if it's going to be 'something goes wrong and Serafina has to be badass', 'something goes wrong and Serafina gets caught', or 'things go fine, but there's a horrible revelation'? Or some mixture of any two or all three, I guess.
