Running Loose
von Chris Crutcher
Sinister sorcery. Gallows humor. A queer romance so glorious it could be right out of fae legend itself. Master of One is a fantasy unlike any other.Rags the thief has never met a pocket he couldn’t pick, but when he’s captured by a sorcerer with world-ending plans, he realizes even he is in over his head. Forced to use his finely honed skills to nab pieces of an ancient fae relic, Rags is stunned to discover that those “relics” just happen to be people:A distractingly handsome Fae prince,A too-honorable Queensguard deserter,A scrappy daughter of a disgraced noble family,A deceptively sweet-natured prince,A bona fide member of the Resistance,And him. Rags.They may all be captives in the sorcerer’s terrible scheme, but that won’t stop them from fighting back. And, sure, six unexpected allies against one wicked enemy doesn’t make for generous odds, but lucky for him, Rag’s not generous—he’s smart. And he has a plan that just might get them out of this alive.With the heist and intrigue of Six of Crows and the dark fairy tale feel of The Cruel Prince, this young adult fantasy debut will have readers rooting for a pair of reluctant heroes as they take on a world-ending fae prophecy, a malicious royal plot, and, most dangerously of all, their feelings for each other.

Rezension von booq_cafeI had to read one book from my Fairyloot boxes and I picked this one, but didn’t have high expectations because I heard so many disappointed opinions. But this book surprised me - maybe it was even better because of my low expectations. It’s true - the plot is very slow, but I didn’t mind, because it helps the character development. If you are looking for a book to read in one sitting, this is not it. But if you like deeper characters and slow burn gay romance, this is your story. I read 100 pages a day and this was the perfect pace. The plot unfolds slowly, but you get to enjoy each different character with their own POV (again - slows the story down a bit). I enjoyed the POV of Rags, the thief, the most. He has kind of a dry sense of humor which is my favorite one and I liked to see him struggle in his own way with forming bonds and finding real friends. The love interest is not what you would expect, but is a very special person with sensibility and honesty. I’m not gonna tell you more - get to know this someone yourself by reading this book. The other characters are all very different, but unique. After reading half of the book I felt like I knew everybody very well, their fears, strengths and weaknesses. Once I knew and loved the characters the plot evolved more and I didn’t like to put the book down for studying (unfortunately I still had to). I’m not quite sure, wether I am happy with the ending, because it seems unfinished but is apparently a standalone. I enjoyed reading this book a lot even though it had some minor flaws.
