Story Thieves by James Riley
5.0
I read this book a couple months ago, so the details are fuzzy. But I can still, without a doubt, tell you this is a great book.
Every reader wants to travel through books. With this one, we get to. What intrigued me most about this book, was Owen pointing out all the nuances and cliches of books, and authors. It was refreshing to meet a character who brazenly talks about all the things I read and write about.
The next thing, was ever-cautious Bethany. I'd never met a character so much like me. Always making rules and second-guessing herself, yet still wanting to be adventurous. Frankly, she's a little irritating at times, but it's so worth it. (She gets better as the series goes along)
This isn't usual for a book review, but I also want to point out how great the rest of the series is. The first book works great as a stand-alone, but the rest of it just gets better and better. The character development and world-building are peak. The plot is wow. Extremely well thought out and intriguing. I was in a constant state of awe while reading it.
So yeah, I recommend this book. A lot. And if you like it, you have to need to read the rest of the series too. You won't be disappointed
