Thick as Thieves by M.J. Kuhn

sophomore slump WHO this one was literally so good and probably better than the first damn!!
while i'd say the first 200 pages are absolutely Solid and an amazing, fast-paced adventure, there is a couple of hang ups i had from the climax to the end that i think i can attribute to her being a new writer (i.e. some plot repetition; missing chances to go deeper with characters, esp. at emotional moments) but i really adored this world and the characters and Riya was great and Clem was just like if Kaz was actually an evil, middle aged sob with no conscience and man i hated ******* so much by the end tbh, in a way where i am kinda pissed this is a duology bc wow there's so much more to the world to write why stop there?!!! felt like another book could EASILY come with ******* as the new villain in power and the repercusions of what happens at the end, and i feel like it would round out these characters better, rather than just leave them high and dry after all of that. anyways i flewww through this one and absolutely recommend to anyone who likes Six of Crows, cool ass magic systems, and thieving and pirates!! i think a good follow up to this would be Foundryside or Lies of Locke Lamora so let's see if i can get to those soon
