Stealing Magic
Her name is Angela Thomas and after years of dedicated practice, she is finally a highly-skilled, newly confirmed Master of the Thieves' Guild.
She's ready to go home and assume her duties as heir to Merryweather's Guildmaster, but then events give her more responsibility (and more danger) than she's expecting.
It seems that when a thief becomes adept with the skills taught in 'A Master Thief's Observations', that thief gains some unsuspected abilities and the Mages' Guild just might have something to say about that.
Then when someone steals spellbooks from the Vrolt mages, Angela becomes the prime suspect, but which organization is leading the hunt and targeting her allies first? The Mages' Guild? The Vrolt? The Rashesh king? Her own Guild's ruler?
Can Angela sort it out without getting killed?

Compelling
Wow. This book is impossible to put down. The complexity of character development and intricate plotting sucks you in. And the moral ambiguity that tears at the heroine is one that is familiar to anyone seeking the least bad choice in their lives. Like Ford's previous novel, the kingdom of thieves addresses the question of responsibility of the gifted and the role of truth in decisions that affect the many. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Angela Thomas, a very strong heroine, is the newly confirmed Merryweather's Guildmaster of the Thieves' Guild. Her path to master is in book one. Now she is finally involved in politics, greed, deceit, and plots among plots. This was a fun read. I liked it so much I e-mailed the author and found out she is just starting on book 3. I'm so glad she is writing another book.
