The adventures Larkya went on were some of my favorite parts and it does double duty to build the world for you.
I was also really into the adventures Larkya went on from the very beginning where she’s going without her magic for a month to traveling to a small island and collecting herbs for an elixir. I even liked the Duke’s reasoning for being the way he is (despite not really enjoying how that ending came together). I love it when characters are more like real people than caricatures. In fact, everyone was so flawed that it made the story feel more realistic. I also loved that Darius was a complicated mess as well. She has a caring side, which made it way more interesting to follow her and see what she thinks. Watching Darius’s secrets unfold through the eyes of Larkya, you can tell that she’s way more than just a thief or a spy. Each of them were so complex with their own successes and failures. You can tell a lot of thought went into developing these characters and making them feel realistic.
I absolutely loved the characters and I feel like this book was focused more on these characters and their development than the other elements. There were a few nagging things that I keep thinking about, but overall, I thought it was good and a great start to a new fantasy series world. Ok, I want to first start off by saying that I really liked this book. Dare to listen? My ThoughtsĬW: family/domestic abuse, self harm, gore and blood, implied drug abuse Welcome to the world of Aadilor, where lords and ladies can be murderers and thieves, and the most alluring notes are often the deadliest. Larkyra and Darius must learn to trust each other if there is to be any hope of saving the people of Lachlan-and themselves. Soon she suspects Darius has his own motivations for ridding Lachlan of the corrupt duke. But her plans grow complicated when she finds herself drawn to Lord Darius Mekenna, Lachlan’s rightful heir. Eager to prove herself, Larkyra accepts by posing as the duke’s potential bride. When it’s discovered the Duke of Lachlan is siphoning a poisonous drug from the Thief Kingdom and using it to abuse his tenants, Larkyra is offered her first solo mission to stop the duke. Larkyra Bassette may be the youngest of the Mousai, but when she sings her voice has the power to slay monsters. There, the mysterious Thief King reigns supreme with the help of the Mousai, a trio of revered and feared sorceresses. Many whisper of its existence, but few have found this place, where magic and pleasure abound. The Thief Kingdom is a place hidden within the world of Aadlior.
