Thank you NetGalley and for giving me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really liked this little book!! The art is /made/ for me, I swear, and it’s one of the first times that a graphic novel’s humour has hit properly.

Also! Having a relationship confirmed so early, and then shown to be healthy and beneficial for both characters, was just so nice? I swear most /books/ I’ve read either 1.

Soft, curved lines abound in the illustrations and the limited color palette is easy on the eyes--the black and white communicates the story with clarity and the few colors chosen (muted teal, soft peach...) set the mood effectively for certain scenes. The characters are also wonderfully expressive! Their personalities come across strongly and even mundane scenes feel dynamic.

The only real issue I have with Thieves is that I think that Ella and Madeleine become a couple waaaay too quickly. They decide to become a couple during their first full-blown conversation!! They barely know anything about each other beforehand so it comes across as shallow insta-love. Luckily, there is some romantic development to be had between the two so the relationship doesn't feel too flat. I would've preferred it if they fell in love while carrying out their mission to
