I wish I could express in words how much I love this book!
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.
