filemanager's review against another edition

The ending was crazy and action packed and I was hit with emotion, but the first part of the book was sort of slow.

3.5 stars.
I would have probably been happier if Alanna didn't end up with a man at all, though I realize this is YA and I would definitely not felt that way as a teenager. Still, it was a fun book. It's nice to see Alanna reuniting and coming into a comfortable place with Jonathan, understanding they love one another but have different lives/goals. And even with her "settling down" in the epilogue, it's clear that she is still herself. She really never compromises her dreams and ambitions for anyone. That's important, I think. I rate this a bit low though because it didn't feel like as strong of an ending as I'd hoped for. Not sure exactly what I wanted different, but earlier books ramped up the stakes and this didn't really seem to continue that trend. Still, it was an enjoyable and cozy read.

*Re-read 12/25-1/2*
What can I say about a book that I love as much as I love this one or this series. I love this author and I love her books. This a protagonist that shows that it is okay to be a strong woman and still be a feminine woman. Alanna proves that you can be all that you want to be and not have to give up on any of your dreams.
I reread this over the last day and a half. I still love it. I am always drawn to these books. I read others, and I always come back and read them. To me they are a timeless set of books, I am going to move on to the next series.
The growth of Alanna through the series is amazing. I have always considered her a tremendous role model to young ladies and even old ones like me.

Re-read of this series is now complete!! UGH THE FEELS!!!
I ended up reading so fast I missed some parts, but I still really enjoyed it. This time I really was able to see how the author's writing has improved and I really liked that.
I enjoyed the full series, but I feel like this time through I was able to enjoy each book separately.
I like who she ends up with, I like how things concluded, but yes there were a few loose ends.... which I won't go into so I do not have to leave spoilers.
George will forever be my fictional crush <3 lol I think this thief lead me to liking thieves and pushed me to read other books about thieves *cough* (Six of Crows) *cough*
I owe this series a lot. It really fueled my love for reading and for women being able to fight back against their system. I will forever be grateful to this amazing series.
