Little Thieves by Margaret Owen

5.0

I got through this book surprisingly quickly! There were a couple of times that I thought I knew where it was headed and was quickly proven wrong. I am not familiar with the lore of this universe and the author does a beautiful job weaving the history of this myth into the story without being too heavy handed. I loved the idea of the low gods and the chaos they bring and thoroughly enjoyed the in depth imagery of nightmarish creatures that haunt this universe. The way in which Vanja was tied to Death and Fortune was extraordinarily clever and I absolutely love the description of Death taking the many faces of those about to die. Very neat detail. I was happily surprised by the many twists this story took and overall, it was a fun fantastical read. Would be interested in reading more from this author in the future.
