I wish I'd been a review that loved this one but, sadly, I just didn't enjoy it. I thought this would be a fun story of girl thieves, stealing from the rich and helping the poor. Instead, it was a war between 2 women - one who felt wronged by the other. And the thieves, they stole pretty furs, stockings and undergarments - to sell and. . .use it to hurt others, bribe and blackmail other women and. . .just all around do nothing good with it. Sure, they paid off some debts and maybe provided some food - but it was always with the understand that it would be repaid, with interest, or else. It was so disheartening to read yet another book where women beat, manipulated and crawled over each other to get to a top that was always below the men around them. I found Alice, our Queen of Thieves, completely unlikable and I hated her POV. I found Nell more likeable but I didn't love her parts either, as she wishy-washy her way through life. Even knowing this was based on true people didn't up my enjoyment. I wish, so much, I'd loved this one. It just wasn't my cup of tea.
