Recs if you like Among Thieves (Tales of the Kin, #1)...

fantasy that features stories and characters from criminal underworlds. think rival syndicates, gang leaders, thieving crews and elaborate heists, shadowy assassins, illicit dealings, and more.

it happens to the best of us, you start reading a series that sounds so good and then at some point it just…stops, there’s no final book, no satisfying conclusion, nothing. sometimes this is a deliberate choice an author is making (cough, cough George!) or simply they could not complete the series due to life-altering circumstances.

as always, please drop any suggestions in the comments!!!

As the name suggests this list is for my beloved fantasy thieves and criminals, lying, cheating, charming, their way out of situations. Yet we root for them, we love them.
