Stolen Magic by Marina Finlayson
4.0
This was a really good and entertaining urban fantasy! I love the mix of different ideas in Stolen Magic, setting it apart a bit from many other UFs which often feel very similar to each other.
The main character is a woman who knows her job and is very good at being a thief! But circumstances force her onto a path she didn't really choose...
This is full of action, good characters, an interesting plot, some mysteries and a good dash of humour. It's well and smoothly written and has some of the banter I much enjoy in UF.
The one star missing is for the stereotypical "brooding hot guy" -> who thankfully only player a minor part in the book. It's definitely UF with just a dash of romance, not full on paranormal romance! But as I hate romance in my fantasy, especially if it's the overused and predictable kind, it still annoyed me.
