Three Thieves

review 1: Dessa and her two friends are still on the run from the Queen's knights, but are feeling safer now that they've left the country. Then Dessa encounters two kidnappers and their victim, a boy her own age whom she rescues in her usual spectacular way. Turns out he's the son of the local king, who invites Dessa and her friends to the palace to celebrate his son's return. The prince, rather bookish and not much interested in the manly sports his father loves--or in the girl his father plans for him to marry--falls in love with the charismatic Dessa. This of course enrages the king, which bodes ill for Dessa and her friends--but what else is new?This entertaining series continues apace with lots of action, a little romance, classic graphics of a medieval world, and characters w... moreho are fun, if not particularly original. My favorite part was when they were at the joust to celebrate the prince's return, and the prince, who had never jousted before, was forced to participate by the king. Of course things went wrong and once again the prince's life was in danger, and Dessa, now awkwardly clad in long satin skirts, looks around for someone who might help the prince. Of course no one makes a move, and she says, "Really? It has to be me again?" Fun stuff!
review 2: Another winning chapter in the Three Thieves series, this one moving the action to a neighboring kingdom. Trying to hide while on the road, Becca stumbles onto a kidnapping and spontaneously tries to free the captive. When he turns out to be crown prince of Medoria, she and her companions are celebrated at the king's court as heroes. Fisk advises they duck out before the fanfare makes its way back to their pursuers, but Becca is enjoying the attention and comfort too much to cut the festivities short. Have they finally found an opportunity to rest and relax, or will their pasts catch up to them once more? less
