Loved this book! It was a perfect mix of romance and fantasy world building/politics kind of vibe. It starts out a little slow, but just give it a couple of chapters and you’ll be hooked! Love Jase and Kazi ❤️❤️ cute lil enemies to lovers moment but it’s predictable so I’m not spoiling dw. ALSO THE END???? (There’s a sequel btw)

This book is a dystopian possibly fantasy novel that links together the rich and the poor, the friends and foes, the enemies and lovers. It’s a dance amongst thieves.

I haven’t read any fantasy in a hot minute but I think this was a good one to read to get me back into it! I like how after the first 20 pages or so I was able to fully comprehend the fantasy world without much effort. I also love a dual POV and an enemies to lovers trope (also lowkey has the forbidden lovers thing)!

It was definitely a slow burn romance wise. I think the book had a pretty good pace, maybe a little slow at some parts but not too bad.

Honestly the thing that annoyed me the most was how the FMM being constantly described as an untouchable warrior but like we see she makes mistakes that seem a little obvious… maybe she blinded by love though so who am I to judge.

Overall I liked Jase’s character a lot and hearing the history of his family was VERY interesting I almost wish there was a book on that! Kazi was also likable and gave me Inej vibes form Six of Crows (except Inej is actually untouchable lmao). I’ll be interested to see what happens with them in the second book.

I spent a lot of the start of this book confused about the world. I spent the rest of the time falling in love with Jase and Kazi. I absolutely love their relationship. I also loved the Ballenger family, as well as the rest of the Rahtan. I love the characters in general lol

So the reason that this book isn't a 4 stars is that I spent so much time confused about the world-building. That being said I cannot WAIT to get Vow of Thieves and continue with the duology.
