Dance of Thieves

Today I will be reviewing the novel Dance of Thieves which was written by Mary E. Pearson. She is a New York Times Bestselling author of the book Remnant Chronicles. I have personally never read that book but after reading Dance of Thieves it is likely I will in the future. The book is 505 pages so it took me about a month to finish although I was never bored as I flipped through the pages. The two main characters Jase and Kazi have very different personalities. Kazi was originally a street thief but turned into a queen's guard. Over the course of the book she had to go through many difficult emotions such as depression and loss. Even though she was a thief she still maintains a sense of great loyalty and positivity. Jase is appointed head of Tor's Watch which is an island in need of many fixes. Even though he prefers to do the work by himself, he often relied on Kazi for support. They both face similar yet different challenges which bring them together. Multiple lessons can be learned from the quotes throughout the story. Two of my favorites were " Sometimes you can begin to know everything you lost until someone shows you what you may have had." and " Truth that comes late is as useful as a meal to a deadman.". The first quote taught me to live in the moment and not focus on what else I may want. The second quote reinstated how important it is to speak the truth when you have the chance to do so. Jase and Kazi's relationship also taught me not only the significance of a friend but also how unlikely friendships can be the best ones. The book's chapters are written from Jase and Kazis perspectives at different points throughout the novel. Some of my other favorite writers do this. I think it helps the reader further understand what the characters are thinking and feeling. I would recommend this book to someone who enjoys a suspenseful plot and developing characters. I would not recommend stopping in the middle of a chapter, as the plot may get confusing. On the back of the novel the next book Vow of Thieves is shown. This is a book that I may be inclined to read in the future. Overall this book is not a quick read, although it is extremely interesting and captivating for most audiences.
