This is 70% romance and 30% plot. I have a thing for subplot romances when it comes to fantasy books and slow burn ones. The story flows in a fast paced motion and world building is easy to follow actually though for the first half of reading, I had to get used with the terminologies, after, I still do. There isn't much suspense surrounding it as plot twists can be identified at ease. One thing I really love about the book are the riddles Kazi and Jase engage in, like its so enchanting. The theme focuses on love and betrayals which I think is good enough since it mostly consists of romantic events and scenes but somewhat on the vague side. The Ballenger history took up a big percentage on the book and that should've been Book 1 so Dance of Thieves would've been a trilogy, to be honest.

id die for this book tbh. i read it in less than 36hrs and it was so good!! absolutely recommend 

by far my most favorite book OH MY GOD i cannot explain the way this book is so perfectly divine like honey+tea and diamonds refracting sunlight. it’s not quite as peaceful as that but it’s so perfect. i love this book to the ends of the earth and even past that. 

if i hear ANY negative comments about this book that is a personal declaration of war
