Deep in the forgotten city of the Deathless Kings, an ancient relic of untold power waits—for one bold enough to steal it.
When seventeen-year-old Sparrow joined the Thieves Guild she made a vow of binding loyalty to their cause. So when a mission comes along from The Circle, a group of mysterious, dangerous beings who control the Thieves Guild from the shadows, Sparrow is determined to cement her place in the guild.
What ensues is a death-defying adventure that has Sparrow and her band of thieves venturing into the heart of the forgotten city of the Deathless King. The fate of Sparrow, her companions, and Raithe, the enigmatic yet alluring assassin Sparrow is forced to join forces with during their quest, all hang in the balance as they find themselves battling ancient forces within the tombs and facing the unwavering hold of fate.

I've read one other book by Julie Kagawa, and I remember enjoying it a lot. The writing style here is just as excellent, and I found myself flying through this (quite short) book. It's a dark world with thieves and things that might devour you from beneath. And of course there are Fates and the one that challenges everything. I must admit I did not get into this book very well. I understand it takes inspiration from a videogame, and I assume that if you're a fan of that world, you're easily immersed into this one as well. I'm not a Gamer though, and I would have wished to be taken by the hand a bit and lead into it. With me not connecting, I also couldn't do much with the characters as well, and so all in all it fell flat for me sadly. I do think others might like it a lot, because if the vibes are vibing for you, this can be really enjoyable. 3/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @harpercollinsuk for the eARC! #Fateless #Netgalley #ArcReading #Bookstagram

Luft nach oben

Das Buch wurde von Ezio und Altair inspiriert 😄 bei mir ist Assassins Creed 2 schon echt lange her, deshalb kann ich leider nicht allzu viel dazu sagen. Ich habe Ezio Auditore damals aber sehr gefeiert! Das World Building war super! Ich konnte mir alles gut vorstellen, die Welt und die Kreaturen waren sehr abwechslungsreich. Ich hätte mir sehr eine Karte gewünscht, aber leider gab es sie nicht in meiner Locked Library Edition. (Ich vermute mal sonst auch nicht?!) Zwischendurch gab es sehr spannende Plot Twists und sehr viel Action. Romance war nur ein ganz kleiner Subplot. Und jetzt kommt das aber: die Charaktere waren für mich nicht greifbar. Julie hat es bei mir nicht geschafft, irgendwelche Emotionen auszulösen, sodass die Charaktere mir ans Herz wachsen. Ich weiß immer noch nicht genau wie sie ticken und finde sie leider zu oberflächlich. Der Schreibstil war sehr gut, das eine oder andere hat sich für mich aber manchmal zu oft wiederholt. Aktuell würde ich sagen, dass es mich definitiv interessieren würde wie es weitergeht, aber mal sehen wie ich empfinde, wenn die Zeit vergeht :).
