The Thief on the Winged Horse had me hooked and I could not put it down, I literally flew through the book!
Kate Mascarenhas does an superb job at world-building, character development and the relationships between characters. I felt like I was part of the Kendricks community by the end of the book.
The mix of the romance, the mystery, the patriachal society is so engrossing that it sometimes reads like a fantasy set in the 1800's but Mascarenhas will subtly remind the reader that the book is set on an eyot near Oxford in 2020.
While I feel like the ending could have been considered a "closed" ending, I would still absolutely love to see more of the lore and characters from The Thief on the Winged Horse, especially Persephone and Larkin, I kinda love those two the most
