I struggled with Honor Among Thieves pretty much immediately.

The book opens with Zara Cole running around the streets of New Detroit until a few lifeless action scenes see her accidentally robbing the daughter of an important mobster. She turns herself in to a youth detention center, where she feels she will be safer, but then suddenly finds herself selected for the Honors program - a program that allows a "lucky" few to join the Leviathan, sentient alien ships that explore the dark reaches of ...more

This book is one of the most unique, amazing things I've ever read. The sci-fi aspect is completely new, atleast to me, and I remained entranced throughout the book. The book is written well but maintains a casual undertone which I really enjoyed. The characters were the cherry on top. They are great people who came together on this journey and formed a great friendship.

The sci-fi aspect is completely new, atleast to me, and I remained entranced throughout the book. The book is written well but maintains a casual undertone which I really enjoyed. The characters were the cherry on top. They are great people who came together on this journey and formed a great friendship.

We follow Zara, a girl from the worst end of society as she is selected to be an honor. An honor is a person who is chosen to embark on a journey inside a Leviathan in outer space for an year and if they are deemed fit, they are chosen to go on a Journey. But no one knows what happens in a Journey because the people who were chosen and accepted never communicated with Earth or ever returned to it. A Leviathan is an alien which like humans has a mind and conscience of its own. The Leviathan saved Earth and many other civilizations from the brink of war and ultimately extinction and started the concept of honors so the species could learn from each other. Now the Leviathan can modify their bodies for human survival and act as the ship in which the honors travel.

Unlike the other honors Zara views the Leviathan, Nadim, as you would any other human being with feelings. And by her doing so it allowas us to see just how human and alive Nadim is. Zara adapts to her life on the Leviathan very quickly and finds that she is more comfortable on Nadim than she ever did back on earth and begins forming a friendship with him.
There is beauty around this book I didn't expect. Zaras connection with Nadim really proves that humanity is not something achieved by being human.

Zara is not alone on the ship, she is partnered with Beatriz and seeing Zara realise that she can actually form a true friendship with Bea and that she doesnt have to worry about being betrayed or hurt is a great experience. Watching Zara grow more accustomed to having people who she can trust and moving out of her untrusting hard exterior is marvelous. Both of them make a great pair and I couldn't have asked for any better people to lead this story.

Zara and Bea along with Nadim are doing every task they were assigned but the further and longer they venture in space they come to realise how inconsequential they are in a bigger picture they couldn't have possibly anticipated.

I loved every word that made this book and the next book will be one of my most anticipated releases. I rate this book 5 stars and recommend it to all Sci-Fi lovers and even if you're not particularly a fan of the genre I encourage you to try it. ...more

Honor Among Thieves started brilliantly, but eventually derailed into a very familiar YA relationship-focused story… I really wish I’d liked it more.

I’ve had good experiences with Caine’s Morganville Vampires and Weather Wardens series, but Ann Aguirre is one of my all-time favorite authors, so to say my expectations were high is an understatement.

Oh but it gets so much better, they can communicate with humans, in ways that I'm not going to tell you but they are awesome.

I've been wanting to read Honor Among Thieves ever since I heard Ann Aguirre give a reading last year, let's face it you don't often get to read stories about a girl who falls in love with a sentient space ship so the concept had me hooked! This was such a fun story and the writing switched seamlessly between Ann Aguirre and Rachel Caine, I definitely couldn't pinpoint who wrote which parts.

This was such a fun story and the writing switched seamlessly between Ann Aguirre and Rachel Caine, I definitely couldn't pinpoint who wrote which parts.

The story starts by showing us Zara's life on earth, things have been hard for her and she ended up living on the streets and working with a gang to survive, she's done things she's not proud of but she's only ever done what she needed to do to survive. When things go badly she ends up in a young offenders institute and without drastic changes she knows her life is on the line when her old gang eventually manage to catch up with her. It's then that she is offered the chance to take part in the Honors Program, a highly specialised training program that gives her the opportunity to travel through space with one of the Leviathans. The Leviathans are huge, whale like aliens that swim through the galaxy like it's an ocean, they are ancient and powerful and they have the ability to allow humans to live inside them to join them on their journeys.

After training Zara and her crew mate Bea are paired with Nadim, one of the younger Leviathans who is only just beginning his own journey. Working together the girls have to figure out how to survive in space and when Nadim gets injured in a fight with one of his own they start to realise how little humans really know about the Leviathans and what they want with us.

I really enjoyed this story, the world building was great but it was once Zara and Bea go to space and start to bond with Nadim that things really get interesting. I loved that both girls were immediate allies and friends rather than two women facing off against each other like you so often see in YA. They both have different strengths and personalities but they're happy to work together so there are no petty issues to worry about. What I liked most was getting to know Nadim though and seeing the girls through his eyes, the way the Leviathans are described and the way they see and hear the universe was just fascinating and the authors made it so easy to picture what was happening. Leviathans form a psychic bond with their crew and the developing feelings between Nadim and Zara were really well written, there is definitely love there but it's more of a soul bond than anything particularly romantic so there was nothing that weirded me out.

This was a great introduction to the series and it definitely left me excited to see how the story continues. I think we still have so much to uncover about the Leviathans and the reason they contacted humans in the first place and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how that plays out.

Oh and in case you're interested in knowing what Nadim looks like check out this gorgeous illustration from the book:

If I could only recommend 1 Scifi book this would be it!

This book hooked me right from the prologue. From that point on I just knew I was reading my next favorite book. The concept was so incredibly fascinating. Living alien ships have made contact with Earth and agreed to share planet saving technology in exchange for 100 chosen human representatives every year who are willing to go on a 1 year tour of space with them. They tell the world their goal is to learn from the cultural exchange, but If I could only recommend 1 Scifi book this would be it!

This book hooked me right from the prologue. From that point on I just knew I was reading my next favorite book. The concept was so incredibly fascinating. Living alien ships have made contact with Earth and agreed to share planet saving technology in exchange for 100 chosen human representatives every year who are willing to go on a 1 year tour of space with them. They tell the world their goal is to learn from the cultural exchange, but not everyones convinced their motives are that simple.

Our main character Zara is a runaway thief who is suddenly chosen to go on the tour. Despite not knowing why aliens would choose a criminal with violent tendencies for the tour, she does know this is her only chance to avoid the long reach of a dangerous mobster with a serious grudge. Her background story and developpement added a lot of depth to her character. Her criminal side taught her to be resourceful and cunning. She wasnt afraid to ask the hard questions and I loved that about her. She was just an amazing character.

Her interactions with the alien ship Nadim were super compelling. I got completely invested in their relationship. I also loved how Zara and Beas friendship evolved. I thought the mystery behind the aliens motivations was very intriguing. I enjoyed the little parts between chapters implying the aliens might have more sinister motivations than they let on. The idea of living alien ships and reading from their perspective was so captivating. This was definitely my number one favorite book of 2017 and I read quite a few incredible books.

The writing was easy to immerse myself in and the descriptions sprinkled in made the world come to life. I loved its addictive quality. I read it in less than 2 days because I just couldnt put it down. When they first start traveling in space we get to explore Zara and Nadims relationship. The action mixed witg the character development was perfect and the ending was just so freaking epic. I love the direction the plot took and I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel. Id totally recommend this if you like scifi because it was phenomenal.

I have mixed feelings about this book. The beginning was not good, at all, but I did feel somewhat hooked in the second half.

One of the things that absolutely did not work for me was the Zara's (MC) voice. It was like the authors tried so hard for her to have this "I'm so egy and don't care about any of you suckers" (while of course it wasn't true) voice, and oh god... it seemed so fake. It came out as forced and cringe worthy. And I just couldn't enjoy reading it as much with Zara' ...more

This story is about a kick-ass rebel named Zara who ends up being picked for the Honors program.

As an Honor, Zara will be sent into space for one-year. Her job will be tough as she and her fellow Honors will be working closely with (actually inside of) Leviathan, an alien ship species. The goal is to learn as much as she can exploring space while the Leviathan get to study our species. The thing is, Zara isn’t really interested in any of that. She just needs to stay her ass out of jail, and away from the mobsters who want revenge.

Zara chose to be emancipated in New Detroit, instead of going with her Mother and sister to live on the crowded colony on Mars. After escaping the clutches of her father’s madness, she is a true rebel in every sense of the word. She relies on herself and she steals what she wants. She rejects all the modern advances for a life of freedom. She may be a petty criminal, but she still has her dignity.

When Zara meets Nadim, the alien space ship she and her partner will be traveling in, they form a friendship. First it is just out of loneliness, then it grows to something more. When Zara realizes the real reason they chose her to join the Honors, Zara and her partner Beatriz must figure out how to help Nadim stay alive and learn all the secrets he keeps from them.

Zara and Nadim share a special relationship. I was as intrigued as Zara was to learn about the alien spaceship species. The relationship builds slowly and kept my interest the whole time. The conversations start off like anyone might imagine and then they get deeper. Zara and Beatriz share a special bond, too. They find a great way to work together using their own strengths to make up for each other’s shortcomings. The main theme of this book was Zara’s ability to learn to trust someone to take care of her.

Most of this story takes place on the ship called Nadim in the year 2142. Zara lives in an environment close to what we know now in New Detroit. Her exposure to modern technology is as our would be, because even though it is available, she isn’t used to it at all. Both Beatriz and Zara grow protective of Nadim and they each have their own nooks in the ship to call home. Despite all the technological advances, it easy to imagine the space Zara and Beatriz call home. The writers did a seamless job telling the story and describing the scenes.

The cool thing about this book, other than everything I just mentioned, is that Zara is such a cool character. She goes from rags to riches, or more like from our time into the far off future in technology. She isn’t very smart, but she doesn’t lack for courage. The whole set up for this book is pretty amazing. The world building is well explained without info dumps. It was also full of descriptive language that helped me to “see” what was going on.

I am really looking forward to the next book in this series. Kudos to the authors for creating such an amazing series starter. I highly recommend this to young adult science fiction fans! ...more
