Martha Wells' The Death of the Necromancer
This was also recently reissued as a revised edition by Wells, and I’m not sure if that was why, but I liked it way more than the first time I read it (when I thought it was just fine). Things start with a heist but revenge plans are put to the side when a dangerous sorcerer starts to come after our protagonist. (And he and his actress girlfriend/partner in crime are one of my favorite fictional couples right now.) I loved how this built up and came to a very satisfying conclusion. I love all the mutual respect/friendship/dedication to stopping evil dudes. Really good stuff. A/A-.
