This book gave me all the reading joy of a good fantasy! There were twist and turns I didn’t see coming and peculiar yet lovable characters.
When Eponine’s sister is sold into The Guild Of Flesh by her father, Eponine decides to join the same guild as her father and become a thief to get back her sister.
I didn’t feel drawn to the book but I’m glad I picked it up. There are plenty of scenes that would give a book club lots to discuss – good and bad. It definitely does not shy away from topics and story lines that are political, without lecturing and giving space for reflection. This is all delivered through fantasy at its best. A dark and ominous criminal world, filled with people with so much heart and care for each other. I have a soft spot for dangerous characters that are excellently themselves.
