Rendition As Books StarCrossed (Thief Errant #1)
Digger thrives as a spy and sneak-thief among the feuding religious factions of Gerse, dodging the Greenmen who have banned all magic. But when a routine job goes horribly wrong and her partner and lover Tegen is killed, she has to get out of the city, fast, and hides herself in a merry group of nobles to do so. Accepted as a lady's maid to shy young Merista Nemair, Digger finds new peace and friendship at the Nemair stronghold--as well as plenty of jewels for the taking. But after the devious Lord Daul catches her in the act of thievery, he blackmails her into becoming his personal spy in the castle, and Digger soon realizes that her noble hosts aren't as apolitical as she thought... that indeed, she may be at the heart of a magical rebellion.

This is the 1st book i give 5 stars, in like, ummmmm... a really long time!! Yes, a long time. Originally chose this book really fast, I didn't care much. I had to download something, anything was good at this point. And thieves, i love thieves!! Who doesn't. But this book was great!! At this point I already read the next book! And it was most certainly great. I love Durrel, and Koya!! WiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIf you ever decide to read this awesome book, it's the best decision in your life!!!Edit:Celyn Contrare is not the woman she seems to be. Everyone sees her merely as a maid to the Lady Merista, but in reality, shes Digger, a skilled street thief. How did Digger end up in this position? She would like to know too. She adopts her Celyn persona to blend in, hoping to escape living with these nobs at the first chance possible, but before she knows it, she gets drawn into the sticky web of court politics. Blackmailed by the devious Lord Daul who knows her secret, Digger is forced to spy
My Review:I know that I have never used this phrase in a book review before, but it is so apt for STARCROSSED: a web of intrigue. This book really got under my skin. It wasn't a paranormal romance, and it wasn't an urban fantasy. It's wasn't even a fantasy that I've come to read in YA. It was a book all on its own, and it was amazing.There's no coddling in this novel for the main character, Digger. I was introduced into her world as she ran for her life from the people who had killed her friend,
When I find a book that is entrancing and beautifully written, I want to linger with it. So this book took me an awfully long time to read as I savored each page. Digger is a thief on the run after her partner is captured by the Greenmen. Wounded and afraid, she finds escape from the city with a small group of aristocrats on a boat. This turns into more than just a way to escape the city, as Digger, who now calls herself Celyn, is slowly drawn into their world. She accompanies the family to a
3.5 starsI have mixed feelings about this book.On the one hand, I liked many things about it. Publishers promise StarCrossed to be the next Megan Whalen Turner's The Thief-like experience. The book delivers on this promise, somewhat. The main character, Digger, is a thief and an extremely unreliable narrator - she lies, she steals, she has secrets. It makes the story interesting and twisty. The world of StarCrossed is wonderfully developed. It is rich and all-encompassing, starting with multiple
Digger is an accomplished thief, with no real ties to anyone or anything but her beloved Tegan. When Tegan is killed trying to save her magical ability from being discovered, Digger flees. She accepts a ride with a group of young nobles, fully expecting to steal a few coins and jewels and ditch them. But soon she discovers they are much more than a group of wastrel nobs and she gets pulled into a life of intrigue and further deception.Wow! I loved this book! It was definitely not your typical YA
