All of you who told me I would love this book? YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! I blazed through the audio in about 3 days and loved every minute. The stakes!! The cute banter!! The sassy, irreverent protagonist (think Lou or Nina, but ace/demi and absolutely perfect). The worldbuilding and system of gods, presented brilliantly through Vanya’s voice. And Emeric!!! Where do they make him and how do I get one? Rounded out by a diverse supporting cast and a bone-chilling villain, Little Thieves is going on my 2022 favorites list for sure. (The author has kindly and thoughtfully provided a content notes warning in the beginning of the book. Please refer there and feel free to ask me any questions you may have!)
Moderate: Abandonment, Child abuse, and Emotional abuse
