The Good Things YA fantasy/ sci-fi from one of my favourite author duos. There was more of a focus on the fantasy side in this first book. Really interesting worlds! Loved the lore and magic.

I don’t think I’ve ever come across a science-fiction novel with a concept similar to Honor Among Thieves. (I know a historical steampunk, Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld, that comes to mind, but with the barest of similarities.) So what makes this book stand out from the rest?
