Review: The Shadow Thieves

Review: The Shadow Thieves by Alexandra Otto

If you haven't read Rules for Thieves, don't read this summary or review! There are spoilers here! 

Alli must risk everything to save her new family from a rogue organization that is threatening the Thieves Guild’s existence—and the lives of all its members—in this high-stakes sequel to Rules for Thieves.

Alli Rosco, former orphan and thief, is free after her disastrous Thieves Guild trial, which left an innocent woman dead while Alli’s partner-in-crime, Beck, fled.

Now Alli is getting more than just a fresh start: her long-lost brother, Ronan, has come forward to claim responsibility for her and let her live with him on a trial basis. They try to mend the rift that started when Alli was dropped off at the orphanage while Ronan became a lawyer in Ruhia. But as determined as she is to make things work, Alli can’t seem to stay out of trouble.

To make matters worse, Alli finds a surprise guest on her doorstep one night: Beck.

He’s on the run and brings news of the Shadow Guild, a rogue organization that is trying to overthrow the current king of the Thieves Guild. Their friends are in real danger. And Beck needs Alli’s help one more time to bring the Shadows down.

Once again, Alli is forced to make a hard choice: save her friends, or lose her last chance to have a true family.

Plot: It was really good! I liked reading about Alli trying to make a new life for herself, while also getting drawn back into the Guild, and the thieves world.

Characters: The characters are all fantastic! Alli and Beck are really fun to read about, and I enjoyed their friendship! And I liked the new characters in this book, Ronan and Mari, too!

The cover: I like it!

Overall: I really enjoyed getting to read another book about these characters, and this world! I really liked the ending! And while I believe this is the last book about these characters, I would happily read another book about them, or another book set in this world. Very highly recommend this book if you enjoyed the first one! And if you haven't read Rules for Thieves, I highly recommend you do, and then read this excellent book! :)

I received an e-ARC of this book from the publisher.
