DEBUT After eight long years—too long to be away from the family that needs them and to think about why they were behind bars in the first place—Edie is finally out of prison on early parole, trying to find a way home from the icy prison planet. Angel, the only person Edie trusted and the one who sold them out, shows up with a ride back to their space station home. She has one more job; one last chance to fell the wealthy tech mogul they failed to take down before. To make the job work means putting trust in Angel again; trust is, for Edie, in short supply, but Angel has a plan and a team. What could go wrong?
VERDICT Fans of Ocean’s Eight and Leverage will find this a delightful ode to team heists. The enemies-to-lovers trope, queer characters, and Hawaiian culture and language create a unique backdrop for a familiar plot line.
