It also expertly managed to keep the characters growing while maintaining their uniquely endearing and complex qualit" Read more of this review »

R.A. Consell liked Ingelin's review of Stealing from Wizards Volume 1: Pickpocketing (Stealing from Wizards #1): "The similarities between "Stealing ..." and Harry Potter are numerous.
