About this ebook

A new short story collection from Tanya Huff.

You can't belong to the Thieves' Guild if you can't break into the Thieves' Guild. When Terizan dropped out of the secret passage, past the net, and into the Inner Sanctum, she was astonished to discover that no one else had ever made it that far. Unfortunately, neither Terizan nor the Guild are thrilled about the sudden perception that she's the best thief in Oreen – the title comes with expectations and the Guild only ever expects the worst. In these five tales, mercenary captains, murderous royal families, ghosts, gods, and wizards prove that while it may not always be lonely at the top, it's definitely annoying. Good thing half a dozen gods owe Terizan a favour.

    A collection of tales with clever solutions to improbable dilemmas concerning difficult thefts. It's hard to believe that a competent thief would so often be pressured in the same way to take on thefts that are all death traps. The point of thievery is gain without pain.

    I didn't know, in my recent spree of buying lesbian fantasy, that this counted. I know Tanya Huff has LGBT hero/ines elsewhere, but I bought Swan's Braid purely because it's Tanya Huff and I've enjoyed her other short story collections. Terizan is a fun heroine -- morally ambiguous at times, but fun, able to take care of herself and ask for help when she needs it. There's not much detail to the world, only what's necessary for each story, but at least it doesn't get bogged down in unnecessary detail. Some of the side/recurring characters are pretty fun, too. I was kinda sad once I finished the last story: even though there's no particular arc of story development linking the pieces, I did get invested in what becomes of them all.Given that I only paid £1.99 for it on the Kindle store, definitely worth it.
