Mary E. Pearson's Dance of Thieves is a new YA novel in the New York Times bestselling Remnant Chronicles universe, in which a reformed thief and the young leader of an outlaw dynasty lock wits in a battle that may cost them their lives--and their hearts. When the patriarch of the Ballenger empire dies, his son, Jase, becomes its new leader. Even nearby kingdoms bow to the strength of this outlaw family, who have always governed by their own rules. But a new era looms on the horizon, set in motion by a young queen, which makes her the target of the dynasty's resentment and anger. At the same time, Kazi, a legendary former street thief, is sent by the queen to investigate transgressions against the new settlements. When Kazi arrives in the forbidding land of the Ballengers, she learns that there is more to Jase than she thought. As unexpected events spiral out of their control, bringing them intimately together, they continue to play a cat and mouse game of false moves and motives in order to fulfill their own secret missions.
I loved the way that Pearson wrote this story. From the world building, to the characters, to the Ballenger family, and much more. The storyline kept my interest, and I bet it will for you as well!
Such a good story

A tale of love and betrayal and loyalties and fighting to figure out what is the right thing to do. The characters are so lovable and they come to life on the page. If you have read the remnant chronicles this is an added story to that world, you don’t necessarily have to read it first, though I would recommend it. Mrs. Pearson develops this world amazingly. I didn’t put the book down once.
