Description: "City of the Uncommon Thief is dizzying and bright, a masterful novel that sits somewhere in the space between Frances Hardinge and Philip Pullman."--Tor.com "A macabre marvel of a tale." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Bertrand is wildly ambitious, and she's masterful in her success, trusting readers to be patient and thoughtful enough to tackle shifting locations, characters, perspectives, and plots. It all comes together into a conclusion that drags wildly disparate parts together, howling for their independence but finally yielding to become part of a (begrudgingly) tamed and comprehensive whole that is worth every word."-- BCCB, starred review "Not only a sprawling work of precise storytelling, but also a literary Rubik's cube [...] City of the Uncommon Thief is genre-defying fiction at its finest, and Bertrand sticks the landing on a book that knows no fear."-- Book Page, starred review "Epic...Recommended for fans of Sabaa Tahir's An Ember in the Ashes and Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows. "-- SLJ "A strange, fascinating adventure in a singular world."-- Publishers Weekly
