ARC provided through NetGalley by Wednesday Books (St.Martin's Press) for honest review
When I saw the word "alchemist" it got me so excited for this. Thought the synopsis was interesting and had me very intrigued to find out what this book was about. Was hoping I would get some FMA: Brotherhood vibes from this (I didn't) but it did have a somewhat of a "heist vibe" with all the running around the characters did.
Reasons I didn't fully like this book were the characters and the pacing of the novel. The characters were mostly flat and not interesting (except for Valentin and Rahel) and felt like the book could've moved over some parts faster and others that needed more time to develop.
Trigger Warnings: Anti-Catholicism, alcoholism, death, loss of a loved one, blood, gore, graphic injuries, self-harm, gas-lighting, hallucinations, manipulation, and drowning
