This is the 3rd book in the series, but it can very well be read as a standalone (which I did). However, reading other reviews saying this is a great conclusion to the serie, I believe you should read them in order. 

Arabessa, the eldest sibling and leader of the Mousai, is the protagonist. She has a history of fulfilling both family and Thief Kingdom obligations with diligence. As she is given a chance to compete for the title of Thief King, she faces a dilemma between her duties and her love for Zimri.

I really liked this book! The writing is captivating and the story is packed with adventure, magic, secrets, romance, and high stakes.  Special mention for the chemistry between the sisters that I found particularly sparkling. 

This is definitely a great start of the year! Next read will be Song of the Forever Rains since I hadn't had the time to read it before the pub dat of the third book :-)

Thank you Netgalley and Montlake for providing an eARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
