4.16 AVERAGE


Suri is just a pick pocket barely making it by until picking a pocket goes terribly wrong and she finds herself in a desperate situation. And we all know that desperate situations call for drastic and desperate solutions.

This book is filled with action and is just simply fun to read. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed this book! The world building was great and there was so much detail I could imagine everything in my head. I'm usually pretty good at guessing twists but I was surprised at least 3 times in this which made it even more exciting!! Can't wait for book 2 :)

Plenty of material for another great series of the genre! Real depth being built for the main characters and a great story telling.

In fact, I was really annoyed Book 2 was not starting around the next page and the story got cut short.

One thing though, a lot of information being thrown at you from the very beginning, many names to try to catch on, maybe a few too many...

This book was not it for me, the pacing was for to fast and felt chaotic. This fast pacing was not only chaotic but made the story less believable, It took away a lot of underlying motives and word building, which whouldve made the story a better whole. Also who was the enemies? It felt flat, surtenly after reading a book like the Poppy War.

But the story idea was very nice, I did enjoyed it to some level and the book being a debut made it still quite impressive.

This book has it all, enemies to lovers, slow burn romance, hinted love triangle, a fast pace and well written world building. 

The FMC is morally grey, and makes smart life saving decisions. The plot twists and turns was refreshing to see as R A Sandpiper really keeps us on our toes. 

I thoroughly enjoyed and will be purchasing the second book! Definitely on the right side of Tik Tok and highly recommend supporting this indie author in their future work.
