Book Review: The Queen of Thieves by Johan Rundberg

Rating: 4 Stars

I just adore the covers on the books in this series! The Queen of Thieves by Johan Rundberg follows the story of twelve-year-old Mika in 1880 Stockholm, the novel delves into a tale of mystery and intrigue as Mika uncovers a string of thefts in the city while trying to keep her fellow orphans safe.

The first book in the series had me captivated, and while this sequel didn't quite match the same level of excitement, it was still a really good read that I would recommend to anyone. The writing is impeccable, drawing readers into a quick and fast-paced story that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

One of the highlights of The Queen of Thieves is its atmospheric setting, transporting readers back in time to experience the bustling city of Stockholm in the 19th century. The author's attention to detail truly brings the world to life, making it easy to immerse oneself in Mika's journey.

Although this installment may not have had the same level of thrill as its predecessor, it sets the stage for what promises to be an exciting continuation of the series. I can't wait to see where Mika's adventures take her next and eagerly anticipate the release of the third book.

Overall, The Queen of Thieves is a compelling read that combines mystery, suspense, and a strong protagonist in a historical setting. Fans of the first book will surely enjoy this sequel, and newcomers to the series will find themselves drawn into Mika's world from the very first page.
