Welcome to a fantasy world where edible magic is the hottest commodity, traded between those who can pay or - in the case of Jude Ripon, the youngest thief in Farrowfell - those who can steal it!
Twelve-year-old Jude Ripon has never been taken seriously by her family of magic-stealing masterminds. To them, she's just the youngest, only good for keeping watch while they carry out daring heists.
Desperate to prove her worth, Jude decides to steal valuable magic from the fanciest house in town . . .
But Jude's stolen prize was protected by a curse which threatens to wreak havoc on the family business.
While attempting to untangle the mess she's made (and wondering why anyone would want to curse an honest thief trying to earn a living), Jude discovers just how far her family will go to stay at the top of the criminal world.
Suddenly, her quest to become a true Ripon isn't straightforward any more . . .

Blurb
Jude Ripon must fight to defend Farrowfell in its darkest hour. The thrilling finale to the epic fantasy series from bestselling and award-winning author, Ravena Guron.
Will raw magic be their doom . . . or their saviour?
Jude is living happily with Moorley, Uncle Runie and Spry. But then the Dark Rivers start failing and raw magic is everywhere. The Consortium jumps into action and assures everyone that the situation is under control, but the people they are arresting are never seen again. And anyway, Jude knows better than to trust those in power.
Jude and Moorley must find a way to reverse the effects of the raw magic. All their usual leads are sending them to dead ends, until Jude meets a strange boy called Darcius who seems to know far more than he should . . .
Can they resist the temptation of raw magic and save Farrowfell once and for all?

About the Author
A born and bred Londoner, Ravena writes MG and YA, usually featuring antiheroines or snarky narrators. She is a lawyer with a degree in biochemistry, and hopes to use the knowledge gained from her experiences to plot her books, whether that's wild MG fantasy adventures, or twisty YA murder-mysteries.
I have to admit I bought The Thief of Farrowfell when it first came out but never got around to it because there is so much I want to read. So when I saw the blog tour I knew it was a sign to read it but when I looked for my copy could I find it so was grateful I received a Netgalley Arc.
I could kick myself for not picking it up sooner because I had a fantastic time. I bloody loved Jude, the plot, the magic system and the world Ravena built.
I have bought the second book in the series The Beast of Farrowfell which will be read in June and the final book The Battle of Farrowfell which released 8th May 2025 to finish up in my view a wonderful series.
For all the above reasons the Thief of Farrowfell receives 4 stars
I'm just gonna go now to kick myself some more toodles
