Review of The Heist by Joniejoon

This review contains spoilers
My least favorite story in this collection. Three aliens are planning a heist on one of the biggest luxury resorts in the Galaxy. While that might sound like it could lead to some great moments, the lack of character drags the story down. One of our main characters even dies off-screen (off-page?) with no fanfare at all, which makes it clear to me how little these three heisters actually mattered. It also doesn’t use its main monster, the Ood, in a creative way.
