Title: Thief of Night   
Author: Holly Black     
Genre: Fantasy   
Rating: 4 out of 5

There’d always been something wrong with Charlie Hall. Crooked from the day she was born. Never met a bad decision she wasn’t willing to double down on. She may be good enough to steal a shadow from a tower, but will she be good enough to steal back a heart?

I hadn’t read the first book in this duology—sometimes, that doesn’t prove a challenge, but it did in this case—so it took me a bit to figure out this world and culture. I liked the characters in this, although I wanted to smack more than one several times. Lots of adventure and angst against a gritty backdrop of death and magic, this was a solid fantasy read.

Holly Black is a bestselling author. Thief of Night is her newest novel.
