Take a Thief
Take a Thief | Mercedes Lackey
Mercedes Lackey's triumphant return to the best-selling world of Valdemar, Take a Thief reveals the untold story of Skif--a popular character from Lackey's first published novel, Arrows of the Queen.Skif was an orphan who would have died from malnutrition and exposure if he had never met Deke the pickpocket. By the time he was twelve, Skif was an accomplished cat burglar. But it wasn't until he decided to steal a finely tacked-out white horse, which was, oddly enough, standing unattended in the street, that this young thief discovered that the tables could turn on him--and that he himself could be stolen!

":Hello, Skif,: he heard, from somewhere far, far away. :My name is Cymry, and I Choose you.:
And he dropped into a place where he would never be alone or friendless again."

Rereading this Valdemar book has been super nostalgic, because it is the first book in this series that I ever read back in the day! I can remember being on the beach and coming across this passage, and just bursting into tears because I thought it was so beautiful! ???

Roxas really wants me to reread the Valdemar series again! It's been a while since I've immersed myself in the world of the Heralds and their Companions! 🤔😸💕📚 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #roxas

Mehso-so

I found this book to be just alright. The first half of the book read like backstory. Granted, I haven't read many of the other Valdemar books, so maybe it would be more interesting if I had that background. After the halfway point in the book, when it seemed like the story was finally starting, the book was actually pretty good.
