The Vanishing Thief by Kate Parker

4.0

This was a good start to a series, although it's written as though it's a little farther in. I liked that it didn't waste quite as much time on the step-by-step exposition of "this is who we are and this is what we do and this is how we got here," because I feel that tends to be the worst part of the first books, but at times I felt a little bit like I had jumped into the series at the wrong point and had to keep checking. (It likely doesn't help that I'm in the midst of several different series and therefore have a harder time keeping track of where I am in each one, so maybe this won't be an issue for others.) I also felt that the ending wrapped up rather quickly, but the promise of more to come mitigates that some for me.
