If you loved how Loch pulls together a motley team to infiltrate impossible places and outfox powerful enemies, you’ll have a blast with Locke Lamora and Jean Tannen running long cons through Camorr’s canals. Like the double-crosses and disguises that peppered the palace break-in, Locke’s schemes against the Grey King and the city’s nobility stack twists on top of twists, with razor‑sharp banter and deliciously tense set pieces throughout.

Enjoyed how each specialist on Loch’s team—from the slick con artist to the acrobat and the magic‑user—had a crucial role in the caper? In 1889 Paris, Séverin assembles Laila, Zofia, Hypnos, and Enrique for artifact‑driven thefts and puzzles, where chemistry and friction inside the crew matter as much as cracking vaults. The puzzle‑box mansions and coded clues scratch the same itch as watching a well‑oiled crew pull off precision jobs.

If the quippy back‑and‑forth between Loch’s crew—and the way scams escalate into wild set pieces—made you grin, Moist von Lipwig’s con‑man makeover of Ankh‑Morpork’s post office will hit the spot. With Lord Vetinari’s not‑so‑gentle encouragement, Moist runs swindles, showy stunts, and PR magic against the clacks company—delivering the same clever, laugh‑out‑loud energy you enjoyed in those fast‑talking palace shenanigans.

If you were drawn to Loch and company’s flexible morals—stealing big while aiming at bigger evils—Kaz Brekker’s crew will feel familiar. The Ice Court job forces Kaz, Inej, Jesper, Nina, Matthias, and Wylan to walk that same razor’s edge of betrayal and loyalty. Like the double‑deals and uneasy alliances in the palace job, this heist thrives on shifting motives and hard choices, making the victories feel earned and a little bit wicked.

If what warmed you most was how Loch’s band of misfits bonds under pressure—trading jabs one minute and risking everything for each other the next—Kelsier’s crew will hook you. Vin learns to trust a table full of rogues (Breeze, Ham, Clubs, Dockson) as they plot an impossible job: toppling a tyrant. The found‑family heartbeat under the capers echoes the way your favorite thieves backed each other when the plan inevitably went sideways.
