I would like to have seen more world-building. The world we see is fascinating, but we get mere glimpses and it's difficult to piece together the setting as a whole. There are humans and non-humans living together in (somewhat precarious) harmony, and I wanted to know more about the various factions. The two things that bothered me the most were the use of "Greek", "English", and "European" to describe languages on a world that is clearly not our own, and the ever-shifting point of view, making it confusing at times to tell who was doing what.

This book has 2 short stories with the same characters. They were interesting reads as we follow a gang of thieves who have a bit of extra oomph to make their thievery easier. The characters were a hoot and fun to read about. Not meant to be full stories so just enough info to make the stories easy to read. I did laugh a few times. And would love to read more about their antics.

As always, Tim has taken us to a mysterious world of wonder. His characters grab you from the start and his attention to detail allows the story to come to life. I look forward to the next “thieving “ journey.
