Sounds like an interesting series. ^^ Several elements your described reminded me of other things: them stealing things to give back to their rightful owners sounds a bit like GetBackers; the "Watchers" reminded me of a similar group in the Highlander series; the torture stuff reminded me of the same thing happening to Richard, the main character in Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth novels.
Not bad for a first review. :)
Oh, and I was thinking of posting book covers for reviews just like you did. :D

Awww, haha! Thank you, capri-chan!! :] Please don't hit me with them. XDDD Except for Glimpses, which only has 100 pages, the others have between 350-600! I wouldn't want to be hit with them! ;__; But I'm glad you thought it was good. :) And yeah, you say you don't like reading, but you always read and comment on my long posts! And I'm happy that I enticed you with this. ^^
I just edited the post a bit with a note about the torture stuff! Haha. It's really not much. And by that I mean it isn't gruesome or that graphic. Really. It's more that they're locked up with collars and don't have any freedom, and then there's some whipping...but there aren't crazy scary contraptions. O__O Lol.
Yes, yaoi. <3 Although this series is more BL than yaoi...just Glimpses is full yaoi. >>' Lol. I may end up reviewing the book I just finished last week, Cethe. Now THAT is YAOI. I mean, all the way through, haha!! I'd want to review it, but some people might not want to read about that. XDD It was a good book, but I can mostly just remember the sex scenes and not much of the plot lol! *__*
Haha, thanks! Well, I just edited it a bit. I just said that the torture scenes aren't graphic or anything...nothing gruesome. XD But yeah, if you don't like yaoi, then you definitely wouldn't want to read Glimpses, but the other books don't have any sex scenes in them. But if you're still uncomfortable with 2 guys being in love, then yeah, not for you!! Lol. But thanks so much! <3
Hmmm. They sound good to me. I'll ignore 'Glimpses' though XD I leave that stuff to you... The rest sounds ok. I'm just so in love with Robin Hobb's books at the moment that I'm not reading much else... For now.

I think this was a nice review^__^ I can definitely see why you'd love these books (from your point of view, that is:3) though I have also seen some things that would, unfortunately, make me put the books aside^^; I'm not that much into reading about torture (XD) and definitely not into yaoi and stuff:3 ...I'm a wimp, yeahXD
It's nice to have an example of a review like this, I think I'm gonna give my first contribution to this World soon!^__^
