Following Castle of Shadows’ success in making both the Times and the Independent Newspapers’ summer reading lists, City of Thieves gets an excellent review in today’s Times. Amanda Craig in today’s Times on City of Thieves: ‘It has a dramatic plot, like a cross between Oliver Twist and Black Hearts in Battersea [by Joan Aiken], and Renner is a real discovery.’

We’ve been blessed with golden light and spectacular views. Today is made even more exciting because it’s the official publication date for City of Thieves.
