Dance of Thieves by Mary E. PearsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group and Henry Holt and Co. (BYR) for the advance reader copy Dance of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson in exchange for an honest review. From the first page, Mary Pearson had me with her drama, daring do and taut suspense! Just as I loved her Remnant Chronicle Series, I am captivated by Dance of Thieves which has characters appearing from the original series! Not only is the plot full of intrigue, tension, and political drama, the characters are strong and believable---lying, cheating, and being protective of family and determined to investigate Vendan land settlement atrocities. Kazi is one of three Rahtan, an elite guard of the queen, who must steal a killer and bring him to stand trial. Jase is just recently become, Patrei, the head of the Ballenger Dynasty which has not been recognized by the Queen. When Jase and Kasi cross paths, first there is a knife to a throat, just as quickly followed by being captured by trade hunters and chained together. Forced to work together to survive, they begin to learn about each other through riddles, folklore, lies, and humor, only to become further intrigued (romance ensues). How will they remain true to themselves and each other? Pearson enthralled me from page one as conflict, family, politics, and danger throw Kazi and Jase together- an action-packed fantasy and adventure I did not want to end. I am so excited about the next book in this series! Highly recommended!
