A thrilling fantasy debut - a high-stakes heist novel set in a gritty world of magic and malice, and perfect for fans of Six of Crows!
In just over a year’s time, Ryia Cautella has already earned herself a reputation as the quickest, deadliest blade in the dockside city of Carrowwick - not to mention the sharpest tongue. But Ryia Cautella is not her real name.
For the past six years, a deadly secret has kept her in hiding, running from town to town, doing whatever it takes to stay one step ahead of the formidable Guildmaster - the sovereign ruler of the five kingdoms of Thamorr. No matter how far or fast she travels, his servants never fail to track her down...but even the most powerful men can be defeated.
Ryia’s path now leads directly into the heart of the Guildmaster’s stronghold, and against every instinct she has, it’s not a path she can walk alone. Forced to team up with a crew of assorted miscreants, smugglers, and thieves, Ryia must plan her next moves very carefully. If she succeeds, her freedom is won once and for all...but unfortunately for Ryia, her new allies are nearly as selfish as she is, and they all have plans of their own.

But then the characters started to develop, and they started to show redeeming qualities so that, by the end, I was fully engaged and genuinely cared how things would end.
The world and the magic system are imaginative and interesting.
It was very good as a debut novel and I’m looking forward to more books by the author.

That being said, the narrator held back the audible version from greatness. it's pretty noticable early on that the same audio clip is used everytime she says "Riya" and soon you'll notice the same for "Thamorr". i think she recorded the entire story mispronouncing those 2 words and when it was noticed it was too late, so they simply recorded her saying the ONCE correctly, then proceeded to copy and paste it at every opportunity. and it shows. it really took me out of the story, so much so that i ended up buying a print version and reading it instead.
if that bothers you, buy the text and read it. the story is too good to pass up. if it doesn't, give this a listen. i HIGHLY recommend it.

If you enjoy books like Lynch's The Gentlemen Bastard series or Bardugo's Six of Crows, this is just like those books. Dark, gritty, fantastical heist where betrayals abound. Fun entertainment, but for me this won't be overly memorable.
But the reason for this review is actually to rant about the audio. The narrator was adequate. She did not try to employ too many voices that she wouldn't remember from one character to to next. But here was my MAJOR distractor which bothered me so frequently that I'd often have to rewind. The recording sounded like the narrator had read the whole book pronouncing Ryia's name wrong then had to go back and edit in the correct pronunciation. Every single time Ryia's name was spoken, it was distinctly disconnected from the rest of the contextual phrase. Every time. There were numerous other audio edits that were quite jarring as well. I do hope whoever is responsible for the audio production can find better sound editors. Once can tolerate the occasional trackable edit, but when they appear in every chapter, that's just unprofessional.
In spite of this, I didn't return the book, so it's worth the listen. Or better yet, buy the paperback and read it yourself! It'll be better that way.
