I read Little Thieves last year and absolutely adored it, so it was safe to say that Painted Devils was one of my most anticipated reads this year. Going back to this world to spend time with Vanja and Emeric was everything and I loved every moment! The author has a way of just fully drawing me in, and I was so engrossed in the story I barely noticed time passing and completely lost myself in the book, something I've found hard to do recently. As with the first one, this book is full of humour and heart and it made me tear up several times - both from laughter and how touched I was by certain scenes. I loved that in this book we had the chance to find out more about Vanja's past and her family: seeing her talk about - but also confront - her fears and feelings of abandonment was truly emotional and made me feel all the more connected to her. The way that the various relationships were developed in this book was fantastic. I particularly appreciated how Vanja and Emeric grew together, and the demisexual rep was a breath of fresh air. Intimacy and sex were approached in an extremely respectful and dignified way, which I found to be really well done, particularly considering this is a YA book that managed to speak so meaningfully to a young-at-heart adult like me. This book managed to have everything I loved in the first one (heists! gods! curses!) while building on it in new and exciting ways. The worldbuilding and lore are also expanded on and enriched, known characters make a comeback and there are plenty of new ones to get to know. There's also a fair bit of battling social injustice, which is never amiss. My only negative comment on this book is that after having enjoyed these characters' company for so long, and with that bombshell of an ending, I honestly don't know how I will wait for the next one to come out! I received an advanced review copy of this book for free from the publisher via NetGalley. This did not affect my opinion of the book in any way. This sequel to Little Thieves was well done, action-packed, and quite funny. I normally hate it when characters do really dumb things and make super bad decisions, but in this series it's entirely in character and the character is self aware, and it works. I didn't realize this would be setting up for further sequels; I never really appreciate a cliffhanger—I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment. This is a great followup to Little Thieves. It starts out with Vanja in a small town where she is - maybe - perpetuating a fraud on the locals. It goes steadily from there reuniting characters from the first book and adding new wrinkles. It feels empowering in many places, showing the heroines flaws, but also keeps you rooting for her. Political intrigue and some magical elements also support the narrative well. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

It was great to get back into the Vanja story after Little Thieves. Painted Devils started off one way, with a typical Vanja scheme, then totally blew me out of the water with the story branching out in to an even more intriguing tale full of romance, retribution and redemption.
Can't wait for #3, Holy Terrors. ( )
