A review by bookfessional
Web of Deceit by Jennifer Estep
3.0
3.5 stars
This short is told from Fletcher's POV and covers Gin's first solo gig. I feel like the guilt was laid on a bit thick, but I can't argue that it was made clear Fletcher knew more about Gin's prior circumstances than anyone suspected:
There are spoilers for future installments in this one, so don't read it until after you've finished the fourth (fifth?) full novel (TANGLED THREADS).
But definitely read it. Gin is just as badass at sixteen as she is when we first meet her a dozen or so years later in SPIDER'S BITE.

This might be the Spider’s first solo job, but the Tin Man was going to look after his apprentice tonight.
Especially since I hadn’t managed to do that before, when Gin had really needed me.
