![]() ![]() ![]() She’s tough as nails and takes a lone-wolf-against-the-world approach to everything, but as her story progresses, we find that she has plenty of friends willing to offer assistance as she needs it.Īmra’s troubles begin when Corbin, a fellow thief, comes to her door and asks her to hold onto an incredibly ugly artifact that he stole on behalf of clients who then tried to double cross him. ![]() Amra relays her story with a touch of world-weary cynicism combined with a quick, sarcastic wit. Told in the first-person perspective of Amra Thetys, a professional thief with a surprisingly honorable reputation, Michael McClung’s opening book in the Amra Thetys series is fueled by the voice of its protagonist, which reminds me of the titular voice from Francis Knight’s Rojan Dizon novels. Instead, it’s a straight-forward adventure noir featuring a touch of action, a bit of mystery and a wealth of interesting characters. At 210 pages, The Thief Who Pulled on Trouble’s Braids isn’t trying to be the next bookshelf-bending epic fantasy that changes the way you think about the genre. ![]()
