This was fantastic. It also was incredibly hard to read at times (and I want to give Vanja a hug so badly, but I also don't think she'd appreciate a hug from a stranger and that's very valid of her). Simply incredible, and I can't wait for the third book, even as I'm incredibly nervous about it following that ending.

Oh man. What a mess.

I fell in LOVE with Little Thieves. It was one of my absolute favorite reads of the year, though when I finished it and saw there was a sequel, I didn’t understand why one would be necessary. And boy did this book prove my fear right.

I won’t go into any major plot points but this was just all over the place. I didn’t enjoy the plot of this AT ALL, it was too confusing and there was so much happening yet I was bored. The lack of Ragne was CRIMINAL. All of the great group dynamics of LT was taken away, and this book was all Vanja and Emeric. Don’t get me wrong, I love them and their relationship was the highlight of this book. But to end it like THAT, with one of the worst tropes known to man?? Oh my god, I want to scream.

This just absolutely missed the mark for me and I’m so disappointed. Honestly not sure if I’m even going to be picking up the next book. Ugh.
