Attaboy reviewed City of Saints & Thieves by Natalie C. Anderson
A really thrilling and well written story.
5 stars

But the other thing that ties them all together is what made them thieves and outlaws in the first place: They all have their own little monsters caged up inside of them. Furies that urge them toward blood. Scaly, clawed things that were born in that moment when the world went so wrong that anything was possible, even the creation of monsters.
[They] are going to kill you. And then they'll kill me. And then they'll go back and kill you again just to make sure you got the message.
