The Soul Thief is the action packed sequel to The Assassin Thief. It’s filled with revelations, healing and surprise physical appearances of certain entities that leave us with even more questions. 

In this book, we see a completely different side of Telli. You experience her humanity. She may be the Fearsome Siren Queen’s Assassin but that is not all she is. 

I really enjoyed seeing a softer side to her and I think Paxium is a huge reason for that. 

Speaking of Paxium; I love him and I totally approve of him for my bad ass, assassin bestie. The banter/ arguments between these two is highly entertaining and relatable. I also live the unconditional support he gave to our Telli, I feel like she hasn’t had that since Trigg. 

This book is a giant Journey and not just for Telli but for all the characters in the story.

Maddy has done a fantastic job with her characters, each one is well developed and they have a depth to them that all readers want. The writing is amazing as always and flows easily, you don’t get lost with everything that is going on in the story. 

A massive thank you to Maddy and New Dawn for gifting me a physical ARC. I was so excited when it arrived at my door. 

I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book. 

Ps, I so think she should have went full bad ass assassin on that council. Bunch of cowards that need to be dethroned and I pray to Maddy that she makes that happen.
