“The Watermight Thief will have you sitting on the edge of your seat from start to finish. This book is simply a must read for fantasy lovers!” -She Who Breathes, Reads Welcome to Pendark, a city of murky canals, brutal gladiator fights, and sorcerers who feud over access to the silvery magical substance known as Watermight. Tamri is a scrappy magic thief who’s trying to get her grandmother out … trying to get her grandmother out of this festering swamp of a city. But when a quick score involving a dragon goes wrong, she’s shipped off to a distant mountaintop kingdom where the legendary Fire Queen is starting a school for magic wielders.
Tamri’s not just going there to learn. The King of Pendark suspects the Fire Queen is up to something more dangerous than training young wielders, and he orders Tamri to find out the truth. If she fails, neither she nor her grandmother will survive the school year.

What I liked about this book was the characters and the story. The characters were well written, relatable and likable. Although, there there were some you loved to hate such as Killarion the king of Pendark. Tamri is a young thief who is struggling to feed her elderly grandmother that has a bit of a problem remembering at times. She strikes a deal with other young thieves to borrow a dragon and steal the watermight from it. Unfortunately, she gets caught and the story goes on from there. There is much going on and the book keeps you enthralled. I loved it and would highly recommend it.
It’s no surprise that I dove into The Watermight Thief shortly after it was released; I make no secret of my love for the series it spins off from, Jordan Rivet’s Steel & Fire series.
And returning to the worlds of Vertigon and Pendark was just the thrill I felt with the original series. This series contains new faces and some familiar ones and the adventure we begin in this installment is second-to-none.
Rivet’s world-building, plot, and characters are all incredible and I stayed up late into the night reading this one.
Having loved the Steel & Fire series by author Jordan Rivet, I couldn’t wait to immerse myself back into the world full of fantasy, mystery, and suspense! In The Watermight Thief, Rivet gives us everything we loved about the Steel & Fire series and more, in a brand new adventure! Expect well developed characters, both old and new, more dragons, more magic, and the same level of intensity and excitement! The Watermight Thief will have you sitting on the edge of your seat from start to finish. I found myself devouring page after page and completely unable to put it down. This book is simply a must read for fantasy lovers!
I know by now you’ve read the synopsis, so I’ll get to the details you’re looking for without oversharing. I absolutely loved how the tale is told alternating from Tamri and Selivia’s perspectives. While they’re nearly complete opposites, they’re both strong and intelligent young women, fighting for those they care for against stacked odds. Rivet flows easily from character perspectives and has exceptional plot progression. Prior to reading this book, I was unsure what to expect from the spin off series. After loving Steel & Fire as much as I did I was both equally excited and apprehensive to begin The Watermight Thief. Would this be the same caliber series as Steel & Fire? Would I love these characters as much? Would the story be as engaging and exciting? Yes, yes, and YES! Jordan Rivet delivers yet another incredible start to a series.
Although I do recommend that you read the Steel & Fire series first, (mostly because it’s amazing) The Watermight Thief can easily be read as a standalone; however there are some spoilers for the other series. If you enjoy strong characters, a world filled with magic, dignified dragons, sorcerers, and a bid for power, then this young adult fantasy is for you! Step back into the world of Steel & Fire with The Watermight Thief, releasing February 15th! Enjoy, xo
