Among Thieves by M.J. Kuhn
4.0
I think this was my first read following Priory of the Orange Tree (which I found highly disappointing), and it was just the thing to snap me out of my post-chonky-book grumpiness and abject boredom.
Among Thieves is fast. Like really fast.
With short chapters you fly through, Kuhn doesn't waste time with stiff worldbuilding or spelling out the cast of characters for you. No bloated exposition here. Instead, she dumps you right in the meat of scenes while giving the dialogue generous helpings of humor and bite—there is LOTS of comedy and snarkiness to go around, and then some.
I think my favorite character is Ryia (Kuhn's proud assassin baby
