Initial Impressions 5/27/15: WELL. That was another very good read! Still not quite in love and feeling all the feels but these books are really great! 
 I think it's very, very hard because there was so much hype -- especially with this book -- so I knew it was going to be good but I essentially protecting myself from the hype. I'm okay throwing myself into feels but hype has gotten me too many times. 
 There were definitely some great romantic feelings and on the flip side, heart-wrenching moments. I was definitely kept on my toes! 
 Review as originally posted HERE on The Book Addict's Guide 6/2/15: It was kind of hard to start LADY THIEF... Everyone seems to love this series SO MUCH and they were so excited for me to finish SCARLET and start LADY THIEF that the book became quite hyped for me. It's a bit frustrating, for lack of a better word. I know that everyone was just very excited but then the book and the series as a whole really had a LOT of praise to live up to. All said and done, I still enjoyed all three books but especially the hype for LADY THIEF was a killer. 
 That being said, I really did enjoy the book still. It definitely had a bit of darkness too it and the layers added to LADY THIEF really showed the reader more about the characters and I mean ALL of the characters. I actually found it really interesting how much I learned about Gisbourne and Prince John. Prince John became even more of a villain for me and I was really surprised that I started to feel like Gisbourne wasn't ALL awful. I KNOW. But I got to know more things about him and that doesn't mean I LIKED him, but it was interesting to see some human sides of a huge antagonist/villain. 
 Some really heavy things DO happen in LADY THIEF -- that wasn't an oversell -- but with all of the hype, they weren't a shock and they didn't hit me as hard. I did have some great Scar/Rob feels and I definitely became more invested in everything as I read! I really, really enjoyed all of the characters and they really brought the book to life for me. I still didn't QUITE get to a "love it" status with LADY THIEF but it was still a solid read for me!
