About this ebook

Readers keep bringing friends to this new fantasy world.

 

She has a magic dagger. But she won't use it to kill.


Loren's always dreamed of becoming a great thief. One day she gets her chance.

She follows a fugitive wizard out of her forest home. On her back is a noble's stolen cloak. At her belt is a dagger the world hasn't seen in centuries.

But something keeps her from ever taking a life.

Soon she crosses path with a family of smugglers. In no time, she's run off with their most precious treasure.

Now the king's law AND other criminals want her dead. Wonderful.

If she can survive, Loren may become the most infamous thief in the world.

If she falls, she'll be only the first to burn in a war that threatens all the nine kingdoms.

"People should check out Garrett, he is an excellent vlogger and writer." — Hank Green

    I stumbled upon this book via an ad, comparing it to Mistborn.
    Well, it's not a good comparison, because honestly, Mistborn is not only very different, but it is better, imho. Still, I liked this book. I liked the language, it certainly seems to fit the world we're finding ourselves in. I liked the characters, even though I don't claim to understand them and their motivations. I hope it will be explained in the sequels.
    The world building is nice as far as it goes, and I think there's more to expect.
    However, books that clearly aren't finished are my pet peeve. I know that it is very common nowadays to publish three books and the whole story only comes together in the last sequel, but I really don't like that, and that's a star less right from the start. And although I liked the book, it's not outstanding in any way, which is why I rate it three stars. As far as young adult fantasy goes, it's a nice, easy read with enough of a mystery to keep the attention. Apart from the open ending, there isn't anything I disliked about this story, so I can recommend it. In case you wonder why it took me so long to read the book: I moved house, so I had to put the book aside for quite some time.

    I'm sorry I dragged my feet and waited so long to read this. I am that person who got a free copy and then let it sit for nearly two months. And once I cracked it open I kept going, "One more chapter," until I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer (I started reading at a ridiculous hour). When I woke, I took care of my animals and then proceeded to power read to the end.I've seen some people say they didn't like it, but that could be because the first in a series is always about setting the background and leading up the the climax. There was a lot of travel and backstory given. This book was wrapped in mystery, and not a lot of it was answered. But that just kept my interest. I just wanted to know what was going to happen. And there was some good action, so I'm not sure what more the naysayers want.Who is Loren? What secret is her past hiding from even her? Who is Jordel? Is he really a friend? Xain...is he a jerk, or is it just a matter of self preservation? And why the hell is Loren such a magnet for trouble?! Will her horrible father keep his promise and find her again? And I adore Gem and look forward to seeing where his story goes.There are so many questions that need answering, and I'm eager to learn, which is exactly what a good series does. Loren has the potential to be an epic (female) protagonist. I am truly anxious to get to the next book. Applause to you Garrett Robinson for hooking me. I'll see you again at the end of book two, sir.
