Heist books? (self.literature)

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)

Mistborn: The Final Empire! If I’m not mistaken, “heist book in fantasy setting” is literally one of the main things that inspired Brandon Sanderson to write this.

Y'know, I've heard a lot about Sanderson's books, but have never heard about any heisting. Maybe it's time to finally get into his books. Thanks for the rec

Gonna take a moment to make a shameless plug - if you're a podcast-listening type of person, some of my friends and I make There's Always Another Podcast - my sister and I (who are both big Sanderson fans) take two of our friends through reading his books for the first time. We just finished the first Mistborn trilogy, so it'd be a perfect opportunity for a listen-along as you read.

Seconded! Great book and a freakin awesome trilogy. This was my first introduction to the Sanderson universe, and boy, was it a treat!
