Book Review: The Spirit Thief

The Spirit Thief (The Legend of Eli Monpress #1) by Rachel Aaron

I am a sucker for a great adventure story, especially with a not your typical main character. Eli is a thief, the greatest thief in the world. With his friends, the swordsman Josef, and the demonseed Nico, Eli is trying to up the bounty on his head, why not steal a king?!

I have been wanting to read this book for awhile, and it didn't disappoint. It was a really fun, enjoyable read. It is not a romance, and there are no sex scenes, instead it is a fantasy filled with witty dialogue, fun characters, and a fascinating world. The adventures that Eli and his friends endure are intriguing and at times laugh out loud funny. Eli is a great main character with enough mystery to keep you interested and wanting to know more. The secondary characters, Josef, Nico, Miranda, and Gin have their own issues and pasts that start to catch up to them in the middle of the current adventure. I can't wait to read the next two books in the series, The Spirit Rebellion and The Spirit Eater, I plan on going out to buy them today!
