The Blacktongue Thief

The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman, 416 pages

Kinch is a darn good thief, but unfortunately not a good enough one to pay off the debts he owes to the Takers Guild, which educated him in the many skills of thievery. To work off a bit of that debt, Kinch takes on an assignment to accompany Galva, an intimidating survivor of the goblin wars, on her quest to find her queen, who has gone missing after giants ransacked her home city. Adventure — in the form of kraken, goblins, and the occasional assassin — ensues.

I love books about thieves and odd pairings, and thankfully this book has both. It was a boatload of fun, and I look forward to more stories about Kinch and Galva in the future.
