5.0
Thank you to netgalley and swoon reads for an e-arc in exchange for my honest review.
Stolen City is told in four different points of view.
Cavar – Who is a weaver that has come to Leithon to find a star that is important to his group. Cavar hires Arian and Liam to help him get the star back to his people and into safe hands before someone else figures out how to use it and cause harm to the entire city.
Arian – Who is a thief who lives in Leithon and who know how to get around the city undetected. She has a twin and together they have pulled off some of the cities most well known heists. She ends up working with Cavar to attempt to steal the star his group wants before it falls into the wrong hands.
Liam – Arian’s twin brother who has magical abilities and is able to help the heists go off perfectly. With his magical abilities Liam realizes that he can do far more for the revolution thats happening and possible help protect others.
Zephyr – Liam’s ex-girlfriend, has betrayed they city supposedly in order to protect those she loves. Is now one of the people in charge of protecting the Bastion (castle like structure for the city.
Together these four different points of view help put together what has happened in the past in Leithon and what is currently happening now as the city is about to burst with revolution. Not only is a revolution about to happen, but there is also a heist planned that could have multiple of the characters we are following dead, or worse imprisoned.
Overall I couldn’t read this book fast enough. I had to know what was going to happen next. If Arian and Cavar were going to be able to convince them to work together in the tense situations they ended up getting involved in. They had to keep up appearances and play a part that wasn’t easy, especially as time went on and they got closer to the time to pull off the heist in one of the most secure places that Arian had ever tried to get into. Not only that though, they were also dealing with women else who they didn’t even know existed and had to stay safe from the revolution. All of this at once made for an extremely action-packed story that had so many moving parts that all came together to help make an amazing ending.
I’m not going to spoil anything or say how the heist ends up going. But what I will say is that I would love to see more of this world with either a book two, or with some companion novels showing what everyone else gets up to after that ending.
