Review: The Devil's Thief

The Devil's Thief by Lisa Maxwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Esta was raised with the knowledge that magic had rules, but when her parents are murdered, she discovers that what she was taught about magic was all a lie. Esta and Harte thought The Book of Mysteries would help them overcome the Order, but now that the power of the Book is inside Harte, they have a larger mission to complete. They need to bind this power, but in order to complete this task, they need to acquire the four elemental stones that are spread out far and wide. They quickly discover that Mageus have been living outside the Brink and that these Mageus are not willing to live in the shadows. The first stone is hidden in the St. Louis World’s Fair and these young Mageus must not only face their known enemies, but some new ones as well.

The Devil’s Thief is the second book in The Last Magician series. Maxwell takes the story she built in the first book and propels the characters into an epic tale. The Devil’s Thief is not a short book and readers need to be prepared to travel through time with these magic wielding characters. The adventure is far stretching and readers will definitely feel they got their reading time worth with this novel. The next book is still untitled without a release date. If this story is any reflection of what the future holds, readers can expect another large adventure with the next release.
