This story was spectacular. It took no time to take off and kept an intense pace to the end.

The world building is so descriptive and well done. You can see it, smell it (though not always a pleasant thought), and feel it.

If you're looking for:

Betrayals
An unlikely bond of friendships
Intense pace
Thieves and assassins
Mythical beasts
A chance to defy fate and prophecies

Then this is a read for you.

This was everything that I’ve enjoyed from Julie Kagawa’s previous writing. The concept worked well overall and was hooked from the first page. It had that world-building that I was expecting and enjoyed the overall feel of this, the characters worked overall and was engaged with how they felt in this story. Julie Kagawa does a fantastic job in writing this type of book and was glad I got to read this.

Getting swept up into a desert city of thieves and assassins full of action and adventure in a fantastical world with a character that does not yet know of her magical power sounded like just the escape I was looking for. The world building is amazing and felt very much like an immersive video gaming experience (I only read the author's note afterward and realized that gaming was an inspiration to this story). Fateless is seventeen-year-old Sparrow's story and the adventure she didn't sign up for. The story is told in first-person from Sparrow's pov in an easy to read and follow narration. From working for the thieves' guild to running from the big bad that she inadvertently helped unleash, Sparrow's story takes some interesting twists and turns. The tale is packed with action, the character's she meets along the way are captivating, and the plot is engrossing. This read was just the break from reality that I needed and I can't wait for the next part of the story. This book is a great fit for anyone who enjoys heist stories, full of action and adventure.
I received access to this eARC thru NetGalley (for which I want to thank NetGalley and the publisher, HarperCollins Children's Books) for an honest review. The opinion expressed here is my own.
