The Magic Thief: Home

I loved this series when I first found it at the library. I was overjoyed to see another installment had been published. After the catastrophic events of book 3, Wellmet has two magics running it, and they don't get along so well. Plus, Conn has to clear his name when someone starts stealing locus stones. The magisters think it's him, but it's not, of course. Conn goes undercover on the streets of the Twilight to get the scoop. All the conflicts introduced in book 3 are carried forward. The dragon, Pip. Nevery's constant worry at losing Conn again. Rowan and Ember having to run things. And whatever happened to Crowe? But most of all, Nevery has never once told Conn that he loves him. This always annoyed me, and it's forced to a resolution in this book. A lot of loose threads are tied up so nicely. I heaved a sigh of contentment as I finished the book. Now I have to go back and decode all the code conversations that people have in the various notes. They're always amusing and touching.

The book was almost flawless
