Half-Elven Thief #2
Wizard-Thief
Even the boldest thief must watch her back.
Rivah Half-Elven is a master thief of the Court of the Masked King, and has finally escaped the debts that hung over her head like a sword.
But she made many enemies along the way, and they have not forgotten her.
So when the Masked King himself has a job for Rivah, she has no choice but to take it if she wants to stay in his good graces.
The job is much more dangerous than it first appears, but treachery from Rivah's fellow thieves may be far deadlier.
It will take all of Rivah's cunning and her growing skill at magic to survive...

Very good book well written and Moeller is good at keeping you wondering what is going to happen next. Which of course makes the reader want to keep reading. Personally I'm looking forward to seeing where he takes the half-elven thief and what near death experience he will make her do

action packed story
I like everything by this author. Characters are compelling, action is interesting. His books are very enjoyable. I like main character a lot, and all the supporting cast is being developed a bit. Very entertaining reads.

Rivah is half elven and a master thief. After her previous success against the high mage she has paid off her debt and is very busy with her own crew.
The Master King gives her another extremely difficult job that she can’t refuse, her planning goes into action. Between her growing magic, mercenaries chasing her and what looks like another impossible job, she is pretty busy.
There is not a lot of action but what there is, is very good. As with most of his books, Rivah is not completely honest in her chosen job but she is still kind and considerate.
Although I found this and easy, quick read, it is not a light read, somewhat dark in spots.
But I loved it.
this is a reread that I enjoyed just as much this time as I did the first time

Excellent series!
Wizard Thief is the second book in a new series that Jonathan Moeller has started. I love the character of Rivah! She is strong, vulnerable and caring and compassionate! Even though she’s a thief, there’s a greater good that is being done through her adventures I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

Wizard-Thief (Half-Elven Thief Book 2) Jonathan Moeller
Even better than book one, in my opinion, the characters have grown and become even more likeable/hateable, depending. I hope that there will be a book 3 & look forward to that.

Very good story
The second book delivered everything I wanted, in fantasy, magic and high adventure. I love the characters and storyline. Can't wait to read the next book.

This series is really good. The way the author describes using spell levels is neat.
