inesreadsbooksLast night I finished City of Saints and Thieves by Natalie C. Anderson. I got a copy via Netgalley. First of all, I finished this in 24 hours, such a fast read. I really liked it. I loved the setting and really liked Tina. I was hooked from the beginning. This book contains a vivid world, good characters and a intriguing story. There is a little bit of romance in there, wich was unnecessary in my opinion. The ending was a little bit neat, but overall I really liked it and gave it 4/5⭐️
