little thieves by margaret owen (young adult fantasy): overall, i think i liked little thieves but i was also kind of underwhelmed compared to my high expectations going into it. the goose girl is one of my favourite fairytales, and i kind of don't entirely like the direction that little thieves took with it in relation to keeping elements of the original? but i also do like little thieves as its own story, and especially the unique fantasy elements and creative worldbuilding. i also really liked the characters in little thieves, especially vanja and ragne and their friendship. and also the personification of death and fortune. when i started reading the book, i was very hooked at the beginning and i did like the book for most of the way through, but the ending fell a bit flat. actually, i'm kind of conflicted on what to think of little thieves.
