Seit ich das erste Mal den Klappentext von „Thieves´ Gambit“ gelesen habe war ich sehr gespannt auf die Geschichte. Es klang super spannend und meine Neugier war direkt geweckt. Auch das Cover und der Farbschnitt gefallen mit richtig gut und es passt zur Handlung. Kayvion Lewis hat einen flüssigen und gut zu lesenden Schreibstil. Ich bin nur so durch die Seiten geflogen und ich hatte das Buch innerhalb von ein paar Stunden durchgelesen. Alles in allem hat mir das Buch gut gefallen, dennoch fand ich es teilweise etwas sehr vorhersehbar. Gerade ein Teil des Endes, habe ich bei der Hälfte des Buches genauso erwartet. Es war aber auch spannend und während den verschiedenen Aufgaben habe ich mit allen Charakteren mitgefiebert.
Rosalyn war ein interessanter Charakter. Sie war gut ausgearbeitet und ich konnte ihre Entscheidungen und ihr Verhalten gut nachvollziehen. Sie hat versucht sich ihre Freiheit zu erkämpfen und dennoch hat sie alles für ihre Familie stehen und liegen lassen. Das finde ich sehr bewundernswert. Mir hat es gefallen wie Rosalyn sich entwickelt hat aber leider habe ich die Gefühle zwischen ihr und Devroe nicht nachvollziehen können. Diese kamen wie aus dem nichts und die Gefühle hatten auch überhaupt keine Zeit sich zu entwickeln. Aber dafür waren die anderen Charaktere des Gambit super interessant und so unterschiedlich. Das Zusammenspiel von allen war klasse und ich bin gespannt ob diese Charaktere im zweiten Teil auch wieder eine Rolle spielen werden.
„Thieves´ Gambit“ war bis auf ein paar Dinge ein spannendes Jugendbuch, dass mir gut gefallen hat. Nach diesem Ende bin ich auch gespannt wie es in Band zwei weitergehen wird. Von mir gibt es eine Leseempfehlung.

I need a sequel now!!
This book is such a breath of fresh air for the YA genre. The writing style was simple and relatable which paired perfectly with all of the action and emotional tension. I loved how this fueled Ross' character and caused me to really want to get behind her motivations as well as root for her on a personal and competitive level. It was so cool how the side characters and their families pretty much spanned the globe, adding to the feeling as the reader of being a part of something big! I think it's best to go in not knowing too much more about the story but if you like action, heists and thievery, complete with a dash of romance, this one's for you!
Overall, this was such an incredible and addicting YA thriller, I can't wait to read more!

Thieves from all over the world are brought together for a contest--but what happens when you are in it to save your mother? This was a super fun read! Fast-paced and keeps you guess on who the good guys are. I will definately read the follow up. Also, excited to see that it might be made into a movie! Recommended.
I had a hard time getting into this book in the beginning but I'm glad I pushed through because once it got going I really enjoyed it. I love the dynamics of the competitors and the clear found family trope playing out. Ending has me distraught - in the best possible way! Anxious and excited to see what comes next!

I figured some things out early on I also did not care for the will they wont they situation
4.5⭐
I wanted a fast-paced, easy and quick read so I could binge it before Reckless was released.
And this book delivered that but it delivered so much more...
The plot never got boring; I was mostly unsure what was going to happen. The ending was so crazy and the betrayal hit so hard. My jaw was on the floor and my heart was with Rosalyn.
At times, I did anticipate the twists but that didn't bother me.
I didn't love Rosalyn. Some of her actions bothered me and I felt like screaming at her sometimes. However, I could move past it so I liked her most of the time.
I liked Devroe in the beginning of the book and then he confused and irritated me. Also, how can I like him now given what happened?
I liked the realistic problems that was weaved in the book. For example, big museums collecting artifacts from other countries and hoarding items that they didn't need. Most people wouldn't like Instagram being used but I found it more ironic and realistic.
This book is criminally underrated and I highly recommend you read this!
Just a warning that the ending was a cliffhanger. It wasn't a bad cliffhanger but if they annoy you, maybe wait for the next book?
