To Steal From Thieves by M.K. Lobb
3.5
adventurous lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

To Steal from Thieves is a fast-paced and enjoyable heist adventure. Our protagonists Kane and Zaria reluctantly team up to undertake a heist for a necklace that is more than it appears. I enjoyed the magic system that M.K. Lobb created, where magic comes with a dangerous price. At times I struggled with the connection between Kane and Zaria as it felt a bit underdeveloped. I’m looking forward to seeing their development continue in book two and learn how they navigate the betrayals and double-crossing. Readers who seek a fast-paced YA heist book will want to check this out! 

Thank you so much to M.K. Lobb, Little, Brown Books for Young Readers,  and NetGalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
