## Review

#### Cover
Epic! The black and yellow colour scheme and sharp lines draw you to it on the shelf instantly. 

#### Initial Draw
I love a good thief/rogue centric book so I picked this up in the book store, read the blurb, and needed to buy it. It also sounded dark yet silly enough to be a quick refreshing palate cleansing read. 

#### Characters
The characters were all great and expertly described. The humour that the main character, Kinch, conveys to every scenario made this a super enjoyable read.

#### Pacing
Super quick. There was never a dull moment in this book and I read it in two sittings. 

#### Finish line feeling 
Sufficiently wrapped up the main quest line of the first book and left me yearning for more! Overall it was a great short start to a new series that would serve a great entry point to the fantasy genre.
