Review by Jasmine Sov, 13<\/p>\n

Dance of Thieves <\/em>By\u00a0Mary E. Pearson<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
Mary E. Pearson’s fantasy\/sci-fi novel Dance of Thieves<\/em> follows reformed thief, Kazi, and outlaw leader, Jase, as they meet under not-very-convenient circumstances, fall in love, and save the kingdom, one betrayal at a time. Oh, and did I mention that they fall in love?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Although the book features a strong female lead (which I did enjoy), the story felt a bit fast-paced. By page 113, they’re very much in love, with teenage emotions running unbridled around the wilderness…literally. In addition, just until that chapter, she had hated him.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The plot was also quite confusing at times. One minute she’s making out with him…one minute he’s fighting off other people…the next minute they’re at a party drinking spirits…it was just too hard to follow. Because of that, I felt that I couldn’t really get the full story. To fix this issue, the author could have clipped off some unneeded flowery speech.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3 stars.<\/div>\n
