Realm of Thieves by Karina Halle

3.5

---

Realm of Thieves was such an interesting take on the dragon books taking over the romantasy space. I loved the switch to have Brynla be a thief stealing dragon eggs as opposed to having some sort of bond or partnership with them. There was also a lot to love in general from this book as it had some of my must haves in a romantasy — political intrigue, magic, heists, enemies to lovers, and of course dragons. I really appreciated how Halle used the foreword to get readers comfortable with the Dragemor history. The world building in general was really well done as well especially since it was such a large component to the overall story. I enjoyed the relationship building and dynamic between Brynla and Andor. I especially loved that it was told through both of their POVs. The may area I struggled with this was in the pacing. There were many times where it felt the story stalled out before picking up again.
