3.5/5 Stars 
 I really thought I was going to love this book. I had really high hopes for it, but it somehow fell flat for me. 
 There was something definitely lacking from the story for me. Given the fact that it has some action moments and no real love story overshadowing the story-line, I was a little disappointed. I did not connect well with Kyra at all and I seriously found her to be quite dumb. Sorry to say it, but for her to be an excellently skilled thief, she sure cannot pick up on anything. I really wanted Kyra to be a strong female heroine that was able to use her rare abilities just be badass and awesome. Of course that's not what you get. Kyra was so easily manipulated by every single man in this book and she fell for it every time. Her life was put into the hands of someone else throughout the whole book. She was a bit cocky when she shouldn't have been because other than her stellar grace and mastery in thievery, she could not even defend herself. Plus she got caught, multiple times. Not only that but, whenever she was in the presence of anyone with power over her and displayed a level of power, she cowered and was not very clever when speaking with them. Needless to say she practically spilled her guts and had the worse poker face on the planet. This made me increasingly frustrated with this main character. 
 The story did not have enough going for it for me to love it. I was still interested and patiently waiting for something good to happen, and it did, but did not quite make up for it. I stilled liked this book, I just did not love it.
