I want to hear about your favorite books that include heists as a major element. Bonus points if it’s set in a fantasy, sci-fi, or non-contemporary setting. (Basically I want something like Gentleman Bastards that’s not just rereading Gentleman Bastards)

Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett. Our protagonist thief accidentally steals a talking key, but I don’t want to spoil too much. Plus it’s been a while so I don’t remember a lot of details. I liked how the magic was like logical programming. How do you make a carriage sitting on an even surface roll forward? Tell it that it’s now on an incline.

Edit: Oops. Flipped the author’s name

Oh yeah, I’ve read that one before. Definitely a really neat magic system.
