#BookReview: A Thief to Die For by Melissa Poett

Synopsis: A stunning reimagining of Robin Hood, set in the same dystopian world woven with magic as The Enemy’s Daughter. An incredibly addictive YA enemies-to-lovers dystopian fantasy.

A soldier with magic. A thief with a secret. A spark that could burn their worlds down.

In a desolate, lawless land, Marian carries a dangerous secret. By day, she’s a high-ranking guard serving her father, the ruthless Commander who rules with an iron fist. By night, she becomes a whip-wielding thief, robbing the cowards she works with, to help those they mistreat.

That is, until Ryland catches her mid-raid. Revealing her identity could help him secure the deal he needs to save his homeland. Or, it could blow everything apart – if Marian has her way.

But Ryland holds his own secrets – untapped magic runs through his veins. A magic the Commander wants, along with invading Ryland’s distant settlement. Marian has her orders: win Ryland’s heart to betray him and his people.

And so begins a deadly dance of deception, stealing from the rich to give to the poor … and magic – the kind Ryland’s been waiting his whole life to wield.

My Review:
A Thief to Die For puts a fun spin on the Robin Hood story with a dystopian world filled with magic, secrets, and rebellion. I liked Marian’s double life as both a soldier and a thief, and the enemies-to-lovers dynamic between her and Ryland added plenty of tension. The deception, forbidden magic, and fight against an oppressive regime gave the story an interesting foundation. Overall, it was an enjoyable YA fantasy that landed in the middle for me—a take-it-or-leave-it read.
