_ “I don’t want to talk about it. I don’t expect your forgiveness, not after how we...how –I- ended things, but I want to know if you still have your old dream?”_

“Still, I must ask what’s in it for me?" “The hell do you mean!? You’re helping us CATCH THE MOST WANTED MAN IN THE WORLD and compensation is all that’s on your mind!? Seriously, what is wrong with you!?”

“Yes, yes I still have those dreams about the perfect Zaun...why? I can’t do anything, I don’t have the funds for anything of the sort.“

“If you care about reason, then LISTEN TO MY REASON!" “Already this is getting out of hand, Creator,”

_“What if I knew about something? What if we had one final theft that would keep us set for life? What if you gave me the chance to make your dream come true? To fix everything I had done? _

“NOBODY TAKES MUNDO’S POWER AND GETS AWAY WITH IT! NOBODY!" “What did I tell you about trusting Zaunites? You would have been better off giving it to a toddler for safe keeping.”

One last...

“DON’T…”

grand...

“YOU DARE…”

_ heist?”_

“TOUCH HER!”

#What is this?

"Grand Heist of Zaun" is a league fan-fic novel I've been on-and off working on for the past few months. If I had to classify it as a genre or story type, it's a bit of action-fantasy with lighthearted romance and maybe a teensy bit of suspense.

#How long is it?

It's about 274 Pages and 116k words. Nothing too enormous.

#Ok who is that?

To facilitate the story and actually tell the story I wanted to, I had to make some original characters. Sorry, not sorry.

#Who did the cover?

**Besteau **did! She worked super hard on it and I sincerely hope you guys give her the praise she deserves.

#I found an error.

I'd expect that. I self-edited and there are likely errors within it. Just let me know and I'll fix it for future edits/releases.

#I have a question/comment but I think it's a spoiler.

Message me in-game or on twitter!

#Will there be more?

I have plans for future...well, book-fan fics but IDK if this will even take off. So if you want more, the best thing you can do is tell me you like it, upvote it, share it with friends, whatever have you.

WOW. Can I just, as someone who used to work in the book industry, give you a round of applause? Finishing a novel length work is no small feat! Perhaps you'll be able to find other fanfic writers here to help you polish it up!

Downloaded and saved to google drive to be read later. I have high expectations Cap, but I'm betting I'll enjoy it.

Heyy ^^ Just finished it. First off, excellent read. When I read a good book I stop looking at the words and start watching the movie forming in my head. This happened with your book. ^^

My critique~~~

I think you could do a better job describing the appearances of your characters. I kept re imagining the way Viktor's robots looked. Not a huge issue. But it is a little weird when I have been picturing a floating thing that kind of looks like the tutorial bot from Portal for half the novel and then read the word humanoid used to describe how it looks.

I think you drew out the ending waaaaaaay too far. Gangplank, Miss Fortune, Ekko? Absolutely no point to them in my opinion. I would have much rather read more about Janna, Mundo & Singed. And I also would have appreciated more story going along about the actual hextech device. (Swain) (J4 and Shyvana) (Aatrox and Viktor).

I think when C goes to Bilgewater is the weakest part of your book. I didn't not enjoy reading it but looking back I think you could have used that space for other writing to wrap up some of your unfinished subplots.

You've set yourself up to write more stories which isn't really a bad thing. But I'm worried you're not going to write those stories. You tied up Vi and Caitlyn's situation extremely well as well as Blitz and Orriana... but I think all the other endings are lacking. I think you tying up any loose ends you have (Jinx, C and Ekko) (Janna, Mundo & Singed) (Aatrox, Viktor) or removing the unfinished subplots would really improve your book.

I didn't want to spoil anything and I hope I've written the above in a way you understand what I meant.

It was an excellent book and I did enjoy reading it. It left me with a lot of unanswered questions though.

Now for positive stuff ^^

I don't usually like action scenes in books. I think you did a really good job writing them though. I especially like the one between C and Mach on the airship.

I liked narrative the style you wrote the book in and I think you did a good job of switching back and forth from different perspectives while keeping me interested. I really liked reading about the fight outside Mundo Tower from all the different points of view.

Overall, great work. I look forward to reading anything from you in the future ^^ And I hope you think about what I said regarding loose ends.
