[✘✘ Sarah ✘✘ (former Nefarious Breeder of Murderous Crustaceans) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Actual rating: 8 stars. Most despicable rating ever, I know, but this is only my first read and stuff. Expect 12+ stars (or worse) after the next one and stuff.

So. I already said this in my Craptastically Craptastic Pre-Review (CCPR™), but it never hurts to copy-paste rehash and stuff, so here goes and stuff:

I waited FOUR YEARS for this book to be released. FOUR YEARS. And, bloody shrimping hell of the stinking fish, was it WORTH IT. Now let’s dance for a bit.



(Oh, and by the way, in case you were wondering: yes, I did threaten to unleash my murderous children on Mr McClung so that he would release the book sooner. Multiple times. It obviously didn’t help. Goes to show what a tough, resilient puny human he is. I’m beginning to think the man’s got some Amra blood flowing in his puny little human veins and stuff.)

Now I’m most certainly not dreadfully sorry and stuff, but it turns out I can’t tell you much about my girlfriend Amra’s latest and mostest awesomest adventure because this is book #5 in the series and stuff so spoiler spoiler spoiler and stuff. Thank thee kindly for your comprehension and stuff. What I can indeed tell you about this (slightly very good) series in general and this (passably a little enjoyable) instalment in particular is:

It’s nothing like anything you’ve ever read before in the entirety of your entire life. I kid you not. Because it’s a Super Extra Original World (SEOW™). Because the characters are yummilicious as fish (three High Security Harem tenants in the same series! This is pretty much unheard of, my Little Barnacles), and their interactions more exquisitely delicious than freshly roasted peanuts newborn babes. Because lots of people are killed deadly dead (which is always a plus, if you ask me). And also because non-stop action and twists and creative plots fast-paced enough to keep ADHD-prone decapods on acid engaged from beginning to end. The truthful truth this is.



No, thou art not dreaming, this really is an ADHD-prone decapod on acid. Wearing a cat costume. And doing a flip-flop dance.

Anything else? Why HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, of course. Those dialogues HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. And let’s not forget dear Chuckles, aka everyone’s dream BFF (no idea who dear Chuckles is? How sad. Your life really sucks, doesn’t it?). Not to mention Amra’s scrumpalicious inner monologue. And Amra’s by now legendary pugnacity. And Amra’s by now legendary stubbornness. Amra’s by now legendary endurance. And, last but certainly not least, Amra’s by now most legendary, abundantly generous use of delightful obscenities (she makes Kara Gillian proud). Anyhoo and stuff, what I’m desperately so efficiently trying to say is that everything Amra…



Forget the “almost” part. There’s nothing “almost” about this. Obviously.

➽ Nefarious Last Words (NLW™): WHY THE BLOODY SHRIMP OF THE STINKING FISH ARE YOU PEOPLE NOT READING THIS SERIES? ARE YOU SUICIDAL? DO YOU WANT ME TO UNLEASH MY HOMICIDAL KIDS ON YOU OR SOMETHING? Just wondering.

➽ More Nefarious Last Words (MNLW™): I don’t care if it takes Michael McClung another 150 years to write the next instalment, if it means it is half a quarter as good as this one. I’ll wait. A little.

P.S. This instalment suffers from a despicable and most intolerable shortage of my boyfriend Holgren Angrado. Needless to say, I am not very pleased and stuff. But. Given that Mr McClung was gracious enough to provide us with a cameo appearance by my wonderfully cranky boyfriend Lhiewyn (aka the “grumpy, crusty old fart”), I might decide to forgive this revolting, Holgren-Lite state of affairs. Maybe. Hahahahahaha. Just kidding. Fleet Admiral DaShrimp, unleash the shrimps on this inconsiderate little human at once!

[Pre-review nonsense]

I waited FOUR YEARS for this book to be released. FOUR YEARS. And, bloody shrimping hell of the stinking fish, was it WORTH IT.



Amra Thetys, you hilariously foul-mouthed thief-turned-spoiler spoiler spoiler, I 💕lurves💕 thee. And Michael McClung, you writer of not-so-crappy stories, I like you. A little.

➽ Not-so-full review to come and stuff.



June 11, 2019: we have a release date and stuff!!!!!!!!! It's August 10, 2019 and stuff!!!!! And the book is available for pre-order and stuff!!!!!!! One-Click Button here I come and stuff!!! And to hell with scantily-clad blondes in distress and stuff!!!!





[February 2018]

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! My girlfriend Amra Thetys is finally coming back!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I'm not excited in the least. Nope nope nope. Not me. Absolutely not.







P.S. I really couldn't care less about this book. Seriously. I mean, this is just one of my favorite series ever, and I've only been waiting for this instalment to be released for three bloody shrimping years. Why would I be ever so slightly hysterical enthusiastic about it, I ask you? No reason, really. So please don't waste your time waiting for me to start hyperventilating over this. Who do you take me for, anyway? A neurotic 13-year-old fangirl on acid or something? Please don't insult me, my Little Barnacles. That kind of desperate, pathetic behavior is obviously beneath me. So move along, these aren't the droids you're looking for, nothing to see and stuff.

The Thief Who Pulled on Trouble’s Braids ★★★★
The Thief Who Spat In Luck’s Good Eye ★★ 1/2
The Thief Who Knocked on Sorrow’s Gate ★★★★
The Thief Who Wasn’t There ★★★
The Thief Who Went to War ★★★★

So I am done with the Amra Thetys now or at least the books that are released because it looks the story is not yet done. I noticed that the Oddly numbered books got higher ratings than the even ones, I hope book 6 breaks the rule when it is out. Also I finished this series in 5 months and I wasn’t one of the people who waited four years between books 4 and 5. The author explains the delay in the acknowledgment section and he had very solid reasons to be honest.

This book events take place after Amra is back which mean the book is from her POV again which made it easy to get into. I think Amra has a very unique voice that I am used to at this point and surprisingly I preferred her narrative voice to that of Holgren. I think this was the best entry in the story writing wise and I enjoyed it the most too!

The characters are as good as always, it is funny how everyone like were “Where is Holgren” and we were introduced to new creepy characters. Amra is her usual kickass self and the best thing is that she decides to be assertive in this book although that gets her in a lot of trouble but it is not like she cares a lot!

The pacing is good, I love that the author has consistent book sizes with around 30 chapters without making the books so long and I hope he continues like that! The plot is the best so far because it is a war against the Gods so there is a lot happening all the time and it is just a series of unfortunate events that makes Amra’s life hard!

Summary: I am happy with this entry and I think the author really grew as a writer. The writing and characters improved, the plot was very engaging and I am definitely looking forward to more of Amra’s adventure whenever she is ready for more!

[kartik narayanan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I like Amra Thetys and the entire series so far. This book is enjoyable too but it didn't grip me the way the others did. If you are a fan, then definitely read this book. Others might find it average.

[Jason Waltz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Headlong fun, with a harsher bite

McClung and Amra and Holgren (and Kluge and even L--, well that cranky old priest (it's hard to recall how to spell his name,ok?)) are back in force. And good force too. No bones about it, this is Amra's tale and she definitely tells it. There's lots of knives, vulgarities, sorceries, toughs, deaths, mysteries, and layers upon layers of plots. That's all for the good. There's also a darker tone, a harsher vibe, to this book, one McClung's afterword sheds a little light upon. Overall it's not bad, but it can be disconcerting at times; to the point I might not be as large an Amra fan if this had been her story I'd read first. It's subtle, but it weaves its way throughout the telling and living of Amra's adventures and sacrifices, much like a dancing blade can slither and slide through candlelight before anyone's the wiser of the numerous slices it's left behind. Read it; enjoy it. Just go into it fully aware of its dangers.

[Marc *Dark Reader with a Thousand Young! Iä!* · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don't know if we'll ever see more in this series, but I'm satisfied with what we have. It's just that good. Last I saw, the author was working on a Master's degree, don't know in what field, but in any case he seems like just a regular guy with regular problems making his way in the world with family, but damn can he write thrilling fantasy and his dialogue is top-notch. The last thing he published was in 2021: The Makening

After putting Amra on the backburner for most of The Thief Who Wasn't There, the positions switch, with Amra back in her starring role and bereft of allies. Not that she needs any help to kick ass and yank herself out of endless streams of trouble. Pursued by the city, the state, the underworld, mages, and gods, she ekes by with brutal doggedness, but not without sacrificing a pound of flesh.

The story starts off a little bit messy, and I thought this was just some rough-around-the-edgesness that came from the author's stated struggle to get this story going after multiple discarded drafts. It seemed just a bit messy, until it all came together, but it was a rollicking good time all the while.

[Elena Linville-Abdo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well, I devoured that book in less than a day...

Amra is as delifhtfully sarcastic and foul mouthed as ever and I freaking love her! And we are back in Lucernis, which I live as well, even if it will be slightly damaged by the time we're done.

I'm glad that Kluge survived yet another encounter with all the weirdness that usually surrounds Amra, because in his pigheaded, black and white no shades of gray kind of way, he is actually one of the good guys. The Magister turned out to be a surprisingly decent guy as well. He reminded me a little of Lord Vetinari from Terry Pratchett Discworld series.

And the Blades are all different and insane in their own unique way, so I can't help but wonder just how bonkers the goddess who created them was, when she wasn't split in 8, that is. No wonder surviving gods have a conniption every time she is mentioned.

Now I am sad because the next book isn't published yet and I am already having Amra withdrawals.

[Julia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great continuation from previous books. A shame they have to come to an end, they have been fun and entertaining.
I love the sarcastic and sometimes caustic nature of the main character, she reminds me of myself.. :)
The author has wicked sense of humour which comes through in the story. Lots of F word use but I found that fine as it’s part of the main characters charm.
The book is very fast paced and full of action which finds Amra going from one scrape to another. The characters are colourful and fun and the world building is excellent.
An all round fun and enjoyable read which is begging for another few books to be written in the series..

[Mark Stone · Rating 5 out of 5]

Okay, to be brief because I'm tired and know that if I don't do this now it will never be done. The entire series rocks. I mean really rocks. Like AC/DC playing at Madison Square Garden rocks. With spare writing and a strong sense of irony/humor McClung hits every sarcastic button there is while delivering a fast paced, witty, exciting story. Every single f**king time. Every book in the series without fail and grabs the reader by the short and curlies and won't let go.
There are few things I love to do more than read (and write) and books like the Amra Thetys series inspires me to both read more and write better.
This is the penultimate level of praise I can give to a writer and well deserved it is. Good job, Mr. McClung, I can't wait for the next book.

[L · Rating 5 out of 5]

Buckle up because this is a wild wild ride.

There are unforseen twists and turns and I was completely blindsided by the ending. Smart, funny and totally absorbing.

[Mark · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent end to this fantastic series, full of twists and turns and humour. Highly recommended to all my friends who read fantasy.

[Michelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

The 5th in the Amra Thetys series has a LOT of action. More than I remember other ones having, but maybe it was because she is on her own for much of it, so there is no foil. But she's so scrappy and determined that I loved it despite the bruising she gets in fighting the Blades AND the fact that we barely see Holgren. It definitely sets us up for more in the series, but not in a cliffhanger way. Mr McClung, please never stop! Everyone else- read this fun series!

[Carrie D. Miller · Rating 5 out of 5]

The long-awaited 5th installment of the Amra Thetys series did not disappoint! Filled with on-the-run action and adventure, Amra is even more belligerent and stubborn this round (can you blame her??), and in many places I laughed out loud. McClung's writing is fluid and witty; he paints a sharp picture with every scene. I did find myself thinking that I should stop reading and go back and re-read #4, which I might do anyway just 'cuz. I can't wait for #6!

[Richard · Rating 5 out of 5]

"But, like a lot of things you spend your life chasing, the catching of it hadn’t really lived up to expectations."

For some, it has been quite a wait between Amra Thetys books. In the afterword, Michael McClung addresses this fact and states he hopes it lives up to expectation. I personally dreaded reading this particular book because it is the most recently published, so this is the end of the line; at least for now. As to whether it meets expectation? Certainly. If you have read this far then you enjoy the protagonist and her sarcastic gallows humor and cheer on her unwavering resolve against impossible odds.

"We are terrible creatures, we humans, capable of terrible things."

Amra is alone. Bait for a hidden enemy that wishes her dead. This particular nasty doesn't do her own dirty work, oh no. Amra finds herself beset on all sides; each faction an unknowing pawn of Visini, The Blade that Binds and Blinds. And like a cat she patiently wrings all the pain and misery out of her quarry before finally ending its life.

"“Never again,” I muttered, because if you can’t lie to yourself in the privacy of a bath, then when can you?""

The events from the last book to now are sketchy. "Where the hell is Holgren?" The million dollar question that everyone wants the answer to. Is it that Amra will not or cannot tell where he is? There are several inconsistencies that Amra refuses to see or react to. Even when they are brought to her attention.

"“Oh, we’re being honest? All right. How many innocent people have you jailed, Kluge? How many have done a little jig at Traitor’s Gate because you decided they would, and evidence be damned? I remember the speech you gave me in Havelock; every fucking word of it. ‘If we want you to hang, you’ll hang.’ That’s what you fucking told me. You think you’re better than me? You hold a whip, and you pretend it’s justice. That’s your sort.”"

Amra has led a hard life. Her childhood was a crucible. Death a silent companion. She was forged into the person she is. Hard and tough as nails but not inhuman. Practical with a tenacity to spit in the Devil's face and give him the fingers.

"When you can’t run and you can’t hide, when something relentless and unstoppable is trying to end you, when something is destroying the people and the things you care about, you stick a blade in it. And then you watch it bleed out, to make sure it’s well and truly dead."

In the end, you have to put your enemies down. But also be able to walk away with your humanity intact.

The Thief Who Went to War is a quick read with brief chapters that keep you riveted. I was enthralled. It's dark and violent; told from Amra's perspective. I have enjoyed the entire series and heartily recommend it to anyone. Although, this is certainly not the place to start. Each book is self contained, but each builds upon the other.

All five novels and the novella are available in digital and print from Amazon. The first three books are actually collected in a omnibus called Pulled Spat Knocked: The Amra Thetys Chronicles, Books 1, 2 & 3 which is part of the kindle unlimited program.

[Yuri · Rating 5 out of 5]

By Kerf's weeping prick this was fun!
Do take note of the fact that I'm a sucker for witty, self deprecating or snarky characters like Locke Lamora, Sand dan Glokta, Lightsong and Amra Thetys.
I mean, sometimes characters say things that aren't even especially clever but you just can't help but love them for their humor in the most dire circumstances.

[Jon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good lord I love this man's writing. Truth in advertising, I'm part of Michael's beta reading group but, that being said, I became a part after he won the first SPFBO contest put on by author Mark Lawrence.

His books are just that good.

In this installment we catch up with Amra, fresh from recuperating from her trials in the previous book. Returning to her old home, things naturally go sideways and mayhem and destruction follow in her wake. (Seriously, at this point cities should pay her to just stay away. It'd be a worthy investment.) Mcclung continues to develop the lore surrounding the various knives, and a few of our supporting cast show up to be splattered by various Amra-related shrapnel. Michael excels at telling stories at a breakneck pace, full of witty banter and furious action, and this one is yet another example of that talent.

If you haven't read the series yet, do so now. That way you'll be ready when Amra goes to war.

[ERIS R · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thanks for persevering Michael

Thanks for another great chapter in Amra's story. It was worth the wait and I'm looking forward to the next five knives going down, and the Netflix or Amazon adaption too. Your series is a genuine delight.

[Jon Adams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well worth the wait.

[Sem · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have no barometer for the quality of series that I read, I think. Or, rather, I willfully shut it off. That's not to say the Amra Thetys series or this book in particular are bad or even subpar, on the contrary. I think they're wonderful, inventive, fun and engaging reads. But are they good, like in the way of prose or characterization? Do they have some sort of deeper moral or meaning, do they present complex issues, do they make memorable quotes that aren't just funny but deep?

Fuck knows.

What I do know is that a good series of books that make you have fun is unbeatable. Sure, I love, for example, Stoner. It's a beautiful book with lots to unpack and is one of my favorite novels, if not the favorite (the pain of Oranges From Morocco being perfectly melancholic, yet written by a bastard.) But Stoner doesn't make me sit up every few years and go "A NEW ONE?! CONSUME!" It doesn't make my brain do that thing where I recognize a character or a catchphrase and it drips some pleasant chemicals all over itself to make me feel good. It doesn't make me have *fun*. It makes me experience all the emotions but fun is, decidedly, not one of them.

Amra Thetys and her hijinks, on the other hand, does all of that. It's riveting action, it's funny lines (some of which don't make sense and aren't supposed to make sense, which is probably the first time I've seen a character get called out on speaking gibberish!), it's twists and it's just good old fun. It doesn't hurt that McClung keeps throwing in curious lore, such as the bear story and the getnlemen. What does hurt is that this series is still criminally underread, which slows down the delightful trickle of stories from this world. Hopefully another Thetys book is fast approaching. And if not, I'll wait. Because it's been worth it every single time with this series.

[Michael Parish · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it. Well told and balanced fantasy.

The author NAILED the balance between hero and villain. The challenges where worthy and just impossible enough to be believable with out feeling cheated. Well done sir, I near impossible balance well done.

Dam#%+!t McClung-
I love Amra’a voice but your creativity really sparkles when her and Holgren are fighting beside each other.
Also, stop beating up on Amra, we need her strong if she is realistically going after the other siblings now.

[Chip · Rating 4 out of 5]

An (I think) self-published book that nonetheless has all of the polish and poetry of an edited, publishing house novel. Excellent characterizations, and frequently witty and amusing turns of phrase.

[Joy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think this is an underrated fantasy series, especially when it comes to snark and funny repertoire. It puts me in mind of Fritz Lieber's style of stories although a lot darker with grittier language.

The author's acknowledgement gives the explaination of his life's speed bumps that put years between his books being published. Originally self published, apparently going with Ragnarok Publishing was a mistake.

I would suggest getting the five titles and read them in sequence. There's a goodly amount of details and characters to remember. They're also fun reads full of good to be bad people.

[Bookworm · Rating 5 out of 5]

Rating: A+

Incredible ending to a series that leaves me wanting more. The way I felt about book 1 and 2 return finally in book 5. Amra has to face off against Visini, the Blade the Binds and Blinds and all the things Visini can throw at her.

Amra is so rude and crass, but so funny and strong-willed at the same time. We see the return of characters from the previous books, continue to learn more about the world. There are some crazy fights and lots of things for Amra to consider when trying to escape from death. I loved the story and dialogue, it was so damned funny. I also happened to learn so many new words I haven't read before. I felt like Holgren and Amra really gelled in this book. The gentlemen were so frightening and different, Gammond was scary but a great villain and so was Mister Hope. The Blades, across the series, are some of the most unique enemies in a fantasy series and have such fitting names.

If anyone reads this series, know that every word is worth it.

[Emmalyn Renato · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've run out of r/Fantasy Bingo cards to apply this book to. The series achieved bingeworthyness fort me with the third book, and I've now read all the Amra Thetys books published so far. Sob. Still loving this series so much that I want more. Now. Right now! In fact I'll quite happily and freely help proof-read early versions of said stories if I knew how to contact the author and he was so inclined. This one was back to Amra being the main protagonist, complete with her snark and profanity and with multiple groups causing her harm and trying to find out where Holgren was. All pawns of the godling Visini and the Blade that Binds and Blinds. Amra and Holgren have a plan to defeat them and Amra (as the ultimate survivor) relentlessly sets up the trap. Great story, lots of gritty action and clever dialog and a nice ending. There hopefully will be several more Amra and Holgren books to come. There is also a novella set in the Amra Thetys universe (featuring Lhiewyn, Sage of Lucernis and high priest of Lagna) that I will get to soon. Keep up the great writing Mr. McClung.

[Kiro Selanor · Rating 5 out of 5]

After the previous book was a solo Holgren adventure, this one is (nearly) solo Amra. They come up with a plan to trap the next of the Eight Fold Goddess's Blades: Visini, The Blade that Binds and Blinds. The plan requires Amra Thetys to go to Lucernis by herself, as bait. The Blade likes to toy with its victims, so Amra is beset by numerous parties who all want either her, or to get to Holgren through her.

So Amra goes from emergency to emergency, from the frying pan into the fire and then to another frying pan. She is beaten, drowned, jailed, blown up, and generally doesn't have a good time. But we do have a good time, because her snark is in fine form, and The Knife That Parts the Night did say that she was the ultimate survivor, didn't it?

Oh, and that knife, whose name is Kalara but Amra has dubbed Chuckles, is still inside Amra and tries to get her to collab. We'll see how that goes.

This book is pretty much nonstop action, and it's great. Fast moving and entertaining.

[Cbx · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5 stars. This was entertaining enough to read, but ultimately somewhat lacking. Most of the book is Amra wandering about on her own, going from one fight to the next, with little idea of what is happening. She is still an interesting character, but it would have been nice to meet someone new in this book, who could add another dimension to the action. Instead, the book goes back to previous locations, and has her meet known previous characters, none of whom are willing to help much. Also, I have to say I was a bit disappointed by the resolution. It felt a bit cheap somehow, and lacking a clever twist. I will likely read the next book, because otherwise I have enjoyed the series, but this one fell somewhat flat.

[OldBird · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's an Amra Thetys book; you should know what you're getting by now. It's more of the same, only crazier, swearier, and Amra-ier. You missed her in book 4? Now she's all yours, and she's running this one solo.

Same editorial problems as the previous books, but same "eh, I enjoy this too much to care" vibe.

The story carries on the theme of the Knives of the Eightfold Goddess and fills in another piece of the puzzle with backstory, lore, banter, and seriously devious doings (unfortunately for Amra, they're all directed at her rather than concocted by her). It's a steady, twisty, keep on your toes sort of story; it's as unpredictable as the main character can make it. I especially like how it keeps in the gritty adult fantasy (there's some gore, but not in great detail) sphere without going all grimdark on us.

I so hope in future this series gets a continuation because these odd adventures are fun in a way that many newer fantasy books just don't get how to be.

[Keith Beasley-Topliffe · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good finish to a bloody and foul-mouthed fantasy series.
This is the fifth and final book in a fantasy series about the Thief Amra Thetys. Her lover Holgren makes a brief appearance near the end, but Amra is front and center through the rest. The truly amazing thing about Amra is her ability to survive despite a great number of people (and sometimes gods) eager to kill her. The stakes are higher than ever and Amra is more alone, but Amra rises to the occasion. Hooray!

[Lel'S Is · Rating 2 out of 5]

What to say? It’s a good story, but it is soooo slow sometimes... it begin with the previous one, when Holgren went to hell for a million chapter and it got so boring.

Here is the same, a lot of very bad things happen to Amra, so much, that it becomes boring...

Well whatever, i guess the worst thing is : are we going to get a end to this story?

Even if we get one, i don’t think I’ll remember it enought to go back to it.

So sorry, because that was a good story at the begining.

Oh well.

[Gareth · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was great! Finished it in about 2 days because it's just such a fast fun read. The main character continues to be amazing and the world surrounding her is fascinating. Been slogging through some books I didn't really enjoy and this reminded me what it's like to read a fun book. Refreshing and enjoyable.
