How to Read Dance of Thieves
Read Dance of Thieves first and Vow of Thieves second. The sequel continues Kazi and Jase's story directly and resolves the duology's conflicts.
The books share a world with The Remnant Chronicles and take place after that trilogy. Familiarity adds context, but the publisher introduces Dance of Thieves as its own series, so readers can begin here.
