[ARC from Netgalley]

The book picks up right where The Assassin Thief ends, and Telium has to face the consequences of her actions. The Soul Thief follows her journey, both the good and the bad, to find her justice.

I felt pretty meh about The Assassin Thief, and was positively surprised how much Te Whiu has grown as an author between the books. This book fleshes out the characters a bit more, and the pacing and world building is better. I am very excited to read future books.

This is a really great series for people who want to read about fae with a dash of romance where the FMC isn't a teenage girl that gets thrown into an unfamiliar world, and book 2 keeps that theme. The male love interest is definitely better in this book, and the romance is more beliveable.
