City of Lies by Lian Tanner
4.0
In the sequel to Museum of Thieves Goldie is questioning her 'destiny.' Should she continue working in the Museum of Dunt or should she remain home, a faithful daughter to her damaged parents? Her heart is pulled in two directions.
However, she doesn't pause or hesitate when Toadspit's sister is kidnapped. The two kids chase down the thieves and follow them aboard ship to Spoke, where a festival of lies is about to commence. When Toadspit too is captured Goldie is left to save them both from the evil machinations that will not only affect them, but the entire region, including the City of Jewel.
Again, narrated by the magnificent Claudia Black, this sequel introduces many new characters for her to lend her talented voice and bring to life.
The ending is even more of a cliffhanger than the first, not even a reunion or return to Jewel, so, to me the story felt a little unfinished, but overall I really enjoyed it.
