Holy Terrors

final book in the Little Thieves trilogy

Vanja has spent the last 2 years on her own, helping desperate people as the Pfennigeist, and trying to move on with her life

But when royals start getting murdered and the Pfennigeist (who may have actual powers awakening?) is a suspect, she has to find out who the real killer is, along with Emeric (who she hasn’t seen since breaking his heart)

while all the royals are gathered to hold an election, and whoever’s behind the murders has much more dangerous magic in store for them

trauma & healing, gods, magic, and fairytales

#holy terrors #aroaessidhe 2025 reads #well! what a trilogy!#despite being a long book it’s very fast paced and funny and ridiculous but also devastating.#a wild ride with lots of intertwined plots and characters #I definitely recommend reading The Fallow Year before this; too. adds a lot of context #the use of the what if stories of if vanja had made different choices combined with #what the main antagonist/magic situation ends up being….mwah #explores such things as who takes the pet in the divorce proceedings except you got the pet 2yrs post divorce #so glad to have range & gisele back! I could have used more of them though.#(also - the way I was like ‘haha what if’ about a certain thing and then it actually happened! good on them. lets go lesbians)#I will admit; thinking about the series as a whole - the romance and relationship drama did take over a little too much for me.#Like it is very intertwined with Vanja’s personal journey which I am a fan of; but idk?#I do kinda understand people who prefer LT as a standalone #But like regardless it is really entertaining to read; full of twists and humor and drama.#I don’t feel annoyed about how much romance there is while reading it; just a little if I think about it after the fact #I have seen some people be like ‘wahh she’s sleeping with other people after hardly knowing her that’s not very demisexual’#but imo (esp in TFY) there’s a pretty clear distinction there between attraction vs action?#like she can choose to do that even if she doesn’t have that same level of developed attraction #i do get feeling thrown off by how much horniness there is in book w & 3 tho lmao #certainly a more mature attitude towards sex than some other YA books anyway.#(mature as in treating sex like it's a normal thing not like ~mature content~ as a euphemism)
