I love high fantasy but get really annoyed when authors build bigotry into the world (like you can write about dragons but people are still sexist/homophobic? Lack of imagination, tbh) so I enjoyed the casual representation here!
I felt like this was a good standalone story but I might pick up the sequel eventually to revisit the world/characters bc they’re so fun.

This book lived up to my expectations. I had a wonderful time reading it. The characters were well-developed and I liked the various relationships. I liked the relationship between Vanja and Emeric. The worldbuilding was good. The plot was a little predictable, there were a few twists that I didn't see, and the writing style was good.

Easily 5 stars. Officially my favorite book. Vanja I will defend you WITH MY LIFE. If Vanja has no supports I AM DECEASED. The queerness is this world is so incredibly beautiful, words cannot describe how seen these romances make me feel. Vanja’s hurt is so heartbreaking but her strength and character development is such a heartwarming experience.

The plot of Little thieves is intricate and amazingly well thought of, it perhaps takes a bit to take off but when it does it’s just an explosion of things happening at the perfect pace. The plot is interesting but don’t think that takes away from the characters! It is also sooo character driven and I loved the characters. Could the villain have been fleshed out a bit more? Maybe but it wasn’t too much of a problem for me.
Vanja - our MC is amazing and broken (and definitely morally grey), she grows so much throughout the book - I got so attached to her that I was crying when she cried or something happened to her… her backstory :( is told in a fairytale style way and it is so compelling.
Our ML (male lead) who I won’t spoil is amazing, he is probably the best one i’ve read, my standards literally cannot even be measured and my heart breaks knowing there’s probably no one like him.
Anyways - read this right now!!!! I’m in love.
