        Mrs.Pearson's Dance Of Thieves.              has wonderful world building,     romance,action,and an amazing cast of characters each with their own motives,and personalities . Mrs.Pearson's beautiful storytelling,and brilliant attention to detail is truly spectacular. 

          Kazi and Jase's opposites attract swoon worthy romance story is written to perfection,and I appreciated the witty banter moments especially whenever Kazi is never afraid to speak her mind. Jase is definitely book boyfriend material,and Kazi is perfect for him. 
            
         Synove,Wren,and Kazi's friendship throughout the whole story is amazing to see,and they are truly thick as thieves.
          
          I will definitely be buying the sequel Vow Of Thieves to read even more of Jase and Kazi's story,and to learn more about the other character's.  
         

      I highly recommend buying the beautiful B&N exclusive edition of Dance Of Thieves it looks amazing on book shelves,and it has shiny gold sprayed edges with a stunning white cover.

A little on the fence for the 4 star rating, but 3.75 felt too harsh. I’d say this book sits somewhere below 4 for me, but nothing too severe. 

Okay! With that out of the way! As other reviews have said, I don’t know that this story was the most original plot line ever (though maybe it’s just me having read a lot of Fantasy novels recently.) This book doesn’t reimagine a storyline you’ve never heard before. However, I think Pearson writes in such a way that it’s so easy to continue to read, which was an incredible feeling for me personally. You could easily sit through 50 pages of this book, feeling like only 5 minutes passed. I think this point about her writing really drove my rating being closer to a 4 star than anything.

The romance was a bit rushed, and the  pacing is hard for me to get a grip on, but the story is honestly fine. I still enjoyed it enough, and do look forward to reading the second book. I will say, though, I don’t feel so driven to read the Remnat Trilogy before this series, though. Will see if that changes at all after the second book.

I somehow had no idea this was a romance book when I picked it up but it was good fun! Sometimes the talk about Ballenger pride was a bit redundant and sometimes Jase was a lil corny, but it was made up for by the intricate lore. I really enjoyed uncovering the web of secrets that Jase and Kazi kept from each other by having their voices alternate — it made the mystery (and tension) more exciting

This book is one of my favorites and caused me to read more fantasy. There are multiple strong characters, including several strong women. Includes good world & character development. It was beautifully written particularly regarding love/the romantic relationship. Basically no spice.
