Hand of the Trickster by Mike Reeves-McMillan
4.0
In a land of order and tradition, a devotee of the Trickster god called Now You Don't is an agent of chaos. He and his newfound troop of misfits must pull off two heists while doing their best to stay out of the city's politics and learning who they can - and cannot - trust.
My favorite thing about this novella, and the two short stories included in the book, was the author's incredible efficiency at creating an entire world. With only a few sentences, I could see the buildings of the city, hear the people in the marketplace, smell the dust or the trees, perfectly. Because of that skill and the wonderfully engaging characters, I am really looking forward to more stories in this series!
Highly recommended to anyone looking for a grown-up version of [b:The Thief|448873|The Thief (The Queen's Thief, #1)|Megan Whalen Turner|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1427740839s/448873.jpg|1069505], and to those who love a good heist.
