Thick as Thieves by Megan Whalen Turner
Noticed it in my books on the Kindle app (I’d preordered it and definitely missed any email about it), and basically inhaled it last night. Well done and surprising, but I did feel let down by how little of all my favorites were in there. Most of the story was about the journey of Kamet […]
