A review by cranberrytarts
Heart Thief by Robin D. Owens

4.0

Reread 10/12/19: Probably my favorite of the series to date. I really love Samba, Ruis' Fam, the overall story and the secondary characters, including the Ship. It was great to return to this world. I enjoyed the narrator as well. It was a new experience listening to the story.

Re-read 10/27/11: This is another favorite of the series. Ruis's gloomy personality bothered me more this time around. I loved Samba just as much as always. The ship and residences played larger roles and were much appreciated secondary characters.

I wasn't sure about this book when I first started it. Ruis Elder is a Null, which means he has no magical Flair. I wasn't sure how that would work in this world, but Owens pulled it off brilliantly.

I really loved both Ruis and Ailim. Their conflict - she is a Judge and he a Fugitive - was interesting and worked well. I really liked that the setting was something new.

Samaba was a great Fam, too. I literally laughed out loud at her antics.
