Realm of Thieves by Karina Halle
3.0

As soon as I read the blurb for this I needed to have it in my hands. I love reading about dragons and thieves stealing dragon eggs just piqued my interest immediately.

The beginning is fantastic. Life or death, thrust right in, everything felt so purposeful. I was interested in who the characters were, especially Lemi because shifting dog, and I just didn't want to put it down. Around 20% though I just became bored.

I had little interest in the characters, the plot kind of felt like it was slugging, and the romance was, for me, just there. I became a bit less interested throughout the book until I get to the unsatisfying ending. The idea was incredible the execution was just not for me. 

It still gets three stars for how absolutely invested and in love I was in the beginning and the writing itself.
