* Don’t mind me. Just reviewing some ratings *
I didn’t not like this book and I didn’t fall head over heels for it either. It was an okay read but the plot was really good
I started to like/understand the MC at around pages 160 (or so) and I feel like her backstory should’ve been explained before that. Because until her backstory was explained, I didn’t like Vanja.
The onomatopoeia « er » was used too much. It made me cringe. And breathing through their teeth… lol
Dark fantasy / anti hero story. It was interesting

This was by far my favorite book of the year! I absolutely fell in love with the Merciful Crow duo, so I was very eager to pick up LITTLE THIEVES.
Owen did not disappoint. Using a fairy tale that is not so well known, Owen takes it, rips it apart, and then weaves together a story that is unlike any I've read before.
This book is both a plot driven and character driven book. I found this really pleasant because often we get one or the other. With a well paced story and character both innocent and deceiving, LITTLE THIEVES explores what it means to fight for yourself and those around you.
Vanja is a morally grey character that both inspires and infuriates. Her character arc is a stunning example of how a writer can keep a character true to themselves while also growing into the person they should be.
One of my favorite aspects of the story was Vanja's godmothers. Their relationship is so balanced and well done. It was seamlessly easy each time they came into the story.
Over all, this is a book that should not be missed. Thieves, queer cast, unusual twists and mythology make this novel a five star all around!
