Well on page one I asked about Juliet McKenna's book "A Thiefs Gamble" which I have finished and will give a review on.
It starts off as you meet Livak, a woman gambler/thief who is blackmailed into work stealing artifacts. Other forces are after the artifacts also and causes conflict between the two powerful groups. McKenna tells a good tale and her world is well put out in terms of politics/history but the main thing I found hard to swallow was the combat sequences, which I found a bit unrealistic. The magic was good but somewhat inconsistant in terms of who should be able to do what (elemental magic). That said I did enjoy the book and bought the sequel. I give it....4 stars, I did like her writing
