A Book of Spirits and Thieves by Morgan Rhodes
5.0
5 stars. I LOVED THIS. IT.IS.AMAZING. A Book of Spirits and Thieves is definitely one of my favorite books of the year! Heck, I’m more excited for its sequel than I am for Frozen Tides! (Don’t get me wrong, though – I’m still ridiculously excited for that, too.) There was just something about this particular story that really gripped and fascinated me. The alternate time periods probably has something to do with it! I loved going back and forth between the worlds, and I didn’t tire of anyone’s viewpoint! I loved every single one of these characters! This story was such a ride, and there were so many times I completely forgot my surroundings and got so caught up in the story, I remember thinking “YES! I’ve been waiting for a book like this!” Now that I’m finally out of my ridiculously long reading slump, I’ve been enjoying books even more so than usual! But now I’m struggling with deciding what to read because THERE’S SO MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM
The plot of this book just blew me away. I love time/world travel, and Morgan Rhodes handled it so well. It’s been too long since I’ve read a book like this! (I think A Thousand Pieces of You was the last one…and I’m DYING to read Ten Thousand Skies Above You but everyone has it on hold at the library #bitter) I will say that I got confused at times (what’s new), but I think it’s because I was so excited and anticipated every page turn, so I probably read too fast to absorb all the information.
The characters were just great. Farrel is such a problematic fave. Like, I have so many issues with him, I want to grab him by his shoulders and shake some sense into him, but at the same time I’m still invested in his story and rooting for him? I just hope he realizes his wrong and empathizes with his brother more! Though I was bothered by his almost instant attraction to Crys. Maddox is definitely my favorite. I loved his chapters and point of view so much. Thankfully, the romance between him and Becca felt more real to me! It still happened fairly fast, but given the odd circumstances, I found it to be very believable. I did like Crys, though not as much as the other two main characters. They seemed more complex to me! I can’t wait to see how they all develop in future books!
So…The Darkest Magic comes out in June. Can I time travel and read it now?
