As Thick As Thieves by Kieron Holland is a rich story filled with its very history, adventure and detailed plot. Once you get into its world, it's very hard to come back.

My impressions of the book varied over the course of reading it. Of the four parts, I found the first part the least engaging and the central character rather bland. Especially the beginning, where too many characters were introduced, building of the backdrop simultaneously and establishing relationships between the characters, made it a little exhausting and confusing to read.
