Little Thieves by Margaret Owen
3.0
*3.5*
I listened to this for a Discord / Youtube related book club, and after attending a long video/livestream for it, I'm editing my rating to 3.5 stars. It was fine, but it felt drawn out and I'm questioning why there's going to be a sequel. I appreciated the demisexual representation and lesbian representation, but I almost wish they could have been one and the same for the princess and had more time with her, but also I think I would have enjoyed it more from her perspective. I think I preferred the second half to the first half but I didn't super love either half of it. I like the idea of Death and Fate personified and lesbian godmothers but again, I would have loved even more time with them and the consequences of being connected.
