Synopsis

Altapasaeda, capital of the Castoval, is about to be besieged by its own king—and where else would luckless, somewhat reformed thief Easie Damasco be but trapped within the city's walls? Faced with a war they can't win and a populace too busy fighting amongst itself to even try, the Castovalian defenders are left with one desperate option. Far in the northern lands of Shoan, rebels have set up the young prince Malekrin as a figurehead in their own quest to throw off the king's tyrannical rule. One way or another, the prince must be persuaded to join forces.Once again, all hope lies with Damasco and his sticky-fingered approach to problem solving, along with his long suffering partner, the gentle giant Saltlick. But this time it's a human being that needs stealing, with his own desires and opinions, and events only grow more complicated as Damasco realises that he and the rebellious young prince have more in common that either would admit.

Goodreads review by Katrin on March 25, 2016

Oh dear, this is awkward. I’ve managed to pick up the last book in a series without realizing there were preceding novels. I do have an excuse! I was visiting family in the UK and saw “Prince Thief” faced out in the local Waterstones. I quickly skimmed the back, thought it looked interesting, and do......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on December 14, 2016

This review originally published in Looking For a Good Book. Rated 2.0 of 5 Prince Thief is the third book in a trilogy and I haven't read the other two. It shouldn't be absolutely necessary to read the first two books, but as is often the case, the reader may find him or herself wondering what went......more

Goodreads review by Ubiquitousbastard on October 18, 2016

So, I abandoned reading this when I was about eighty percent of the way through because honestly I was tired of the characters and the world, and really everything about it. Today I finally finished it off, and I'm still less than impressed. It wasn't bad enough that I never intended to finish it, a......more

Goodreads review by Tyrannosaurus on July 02, 2014

I definitely liked this one better than the second book in the series, though it was still a lot of moving people in circles around the country and not a whole lot of depth. I'll tell you what I did like, though—everyone professed to love Saltlick, while they all manipulated him and nobody respected......more
