Über diesen Titel

A scrappy maid must outsmart both palace nobles and Low Gods in a new YA fantasy by Margaret Owen, author of the Merciful Crow series.

Once upon a time, there was a horrible girl....

Vanja Schmidt knows that no gift is freely given, not even a mother's love. Vanja, the adopted goddaughter of Death and Fortune, was Princess Gisele's dutiful servant up until a year ago. That was when Vanja's otherworldly mothers demanded a terrible price for their care and Vanja decided to steal her future back...by stealing Gisele's life for herself.

The real Gisele is left a penniless nobody while Vanja uses an enchanted string of pearls to take her place. Now, Vanja leads a lonely but lucrative double life as princess and jewel thief, charming nobility while emptying their coffers to fund her great escape. Then, one heist away from freedom, Vanja crosses the wrong god and is cursed to an untimely end: turning into jewels, stone by stone, for her greed.

Vanja has just two weeks to figure out how to break her curse and make her getaway. And with a feral guardian half-god, Gisele's sinister fiancé and an overeager junior detective on Vanja's tail, she'll have to pull the biggest grift yet to save her own life.

Super cool worldbuilding, but would have love to know a bit more about the mythology. The mothers storyline is a bit simplistic, but overall enjoyable. The investigation part was fun, and there is a nice twist at the end. The romance is not annoying and kind of low-key (in a good way).

Good fantasy with a touch of mystery

Little thieves is a perfect modern day YA novel. It has everything a reader could wish for and more. I really enjoyed the world created in that book. It’s fantasy with a very modern touch. I also hugely enjoyed the magic System. The main character, Fanya, is simply loveable despite all her flaws. The society in the book, despite being very faulty and sometimes medieval, is also very open and less prejudiced than our world. All in all an absolutely recommendable book.

Perfect!
