City of Saints & Thieves by Natalie C. Anderson
4.0
Wizzed through this YA book- a much needed addition to the genre- no dystopian future, vampires or werewolves- this book has heart and brains and soul. Tina is a perfectly balanced combination of fight and street smarts, vulnerability and flaws. Yes, there is some cheese, there is a boy and a best friend and an ‘unexpected’ twist but without it the story would perhaps be too devastating to bear.
I liked going into this book with no expectations and very little idea of the plot or setting but becoming quickly enthralled. I can see a film adaptation in its future although it may not live up to the scenes created in my head by the words on the paper.
