Constant twists and turns in a mystery plot can often feel like the author is being confusing just for the sake of it, but with the plot of Vow of Thieves, stuff may surprise you, but it doesn’t feel unearned. You don’t know who to trust, and you don’t know if you can believe what you knew before. This book is full of all sorts of political intrigue. Separated by circumstance, Jase and Kazi must fight to discover who the real enemy is and how to defeat them. The Ballenger family – what’s left of it – have taken refuge in their vault and someone new rules the land. There is an ominous warning on Jase and Kazi’s journey back, and they are attacked before they can even set foot in Hell’s Mouth. The ending of Dance of Thieves gave us a little glimpse of what was in store, but trust me when I say that you are not ready for what is to come. Vow of Thieves returns us once again to the Ballengers’ homestead, but it’s in a very different state than it was when we left. This world is so rich and diverse and ripe with possibility, and I have fallen in love with each new part that’s been unlocked in every successive book set there. I am such a fan of the world that Pearson has created, both in this duology and in its predecessor The Remnant Chronicles. Trust me when I say that you are not prepared for what is about to go down in Hell’s Mouth. Kazi and Jase’s saga concludes in Vow of Thieves, the sequel to New York Times best-selling author Mary E.
