The cast of characters, the settings, the plot, the dialogue-all written so well! Nothing felt anachronistic and pulled you out of the story. Would give a higher rating but I just didn’t like the characters, but they were well written!

•What did I think of this book? (Mult POV)
Let me start I'm really not into historical fiction but this book caught my attention and is by an upcoming author. It was a slow-paced book, I also listened to the audiobook following (highly recommend). Gangs aren't just a man's war.  Women like the finer things in silks and costly materials.  The Forty Thieves is a gang of women who steal from shops and sell at a lower price. But, since the war is over everyone's on high alert trying to clean up the city.. and it all falls to one woman's shoulders, whose passion for revenge and tierd of being a pawn..
