Dishonour Among Thieves (The Luck Uglies)
“How little you know of your own father. He took something I cherished long ago and hid it away. You will help me find it”
The legendary Luck Uglies are the most deadly, dangerous band of men Riley O’Chanter has ever met – and her father, Harmless, is their high chief. Having been in exile for ten years the Luck Uglies are back in Village Drowning, but bringing them out of the shadows and back together was never going to be without its perils. There is bad blood between Rye’s father, and a sinister masked man named Slinister Varlet. As Harmless and Slinister vie for control of their men, Rye finds herself caught up in their dangerous game. Throw in a vengeful son, a dark curse, and a collection of thieves and smugglers and the stage is set for another page-turning adventure.

I liked Rye, she reminds me a lot of me when I was a child, quite a rebel. The Luck Uglies although being outlaws I did like them, they were only sticking up for themselves and their people really. This book was just as exciting as the first with lots of action and adventure, not so much magical things going on but all the same it was a great read.
The characters were developed more in this book so we got to know more about them and Rye is a strong and loveable heroine.
This children’s fantasy has been written very well and I am sure children that read it will love it.
I have enjoyed this series.
