Read It: Thief’s Covenant by Ari Marmell
Once again, almost 2 weeks goes by between finishing a book and writing the review..which for me is never a good thing. But I did want to throw out a recommendation for Thief's Covenant, if nothing else. Because I thought that overall, it was a great read. It is the first YA book published by Pyr (I believe), and it happens to be the first in the Widdershins Adventures series. Don't let that YA moniker fool you, though, as if this book was a movie, I would rate it PG-13. It has its share of violence, and I would say the target audience for this is teens and up. Most of the time, I had to remind myself that I was not reading an adult novel.
...next was is a bunch of stuff I typed up and deleted. While writing this post, I read another new review of this book, and since I agree with everything he said, I will save you the agony of reading more of my review and tell you to go read Stefan's review at Civilian Reader.
I will close by saying I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed Thief's Covenant. I stayed up a little later each night cuz I couldn't make myself top reading. And it definitely made my gym time (I read while riding the bike/elliptical machine) go by a lot faster. I'm even expecting it to make my top 10 of 2012 list.
