Loved how the romantic interest took the damsel role for most of the story as well as the main character and her sisters! The plot seemed to suddenly pick up and rush for the last twenty percent, and the threat level was never even slightly high- I never worried for any main character. Still a very enjoyable read!

It started out slow. Some of it is predictable but satisfyingly so. There's magic, a bit of romance, sisterly banter, and gossip.  It was a good feeling reading about good-doing thieves.

Very easy fantasy read. It’s entertaining with a touch of slow burn to it. The action and climax were short and not very intense but fits well within the story.

Not bad, it took me awhile because I got too busy with work and then hit a reading slump. It wasn't keeping my attention heavily that I felt compelled to finish reading it despite that. I like the concept and the interesting plot that was taking place with the intrigue and mystery behind things. It'll be interesting to see where the sister's story goes too.

Graphic: Physical abuse, Drug use, Torture, and Violence

Minor: Death of parent

Familial Abuse:

There are a lot of cases of Familial Abuse, which, both times it's shown, can be pretty graphic. One character forces another to harm themselves through magic control.
