The Spirit Thief

Well that escalated quickly. In the last third of the book all the characters start unleashing a level of power that was never hinted at them having, it comes out of nowhere. To be fair, it's sort of, kinda, barely hinted, but not really.

Other than that, I liked it.

3 1/2 stars

Even though the beginning of The Spirit Thief had me wondering whether or not I???d enjoy it, I found I had rather enjoyed it once I reached the end. It???s a fun story set in a fascinating world in which everything has a spirit, and wizardry is not spell-casting but the ability to hear these spirits. While some of the characters are rather shallowly depicted in this first installment, the charismatic Eli and dutiful Miranda are both engaging, likable characters. I???m looking forward to finding out what happens in The Spirit Rebellion.
