It Takes a Thief to Catch a Sunrise is a re-issue of the previously released 'The Northern Sunrise'. It is a stand alone book by the author of The Ties that Bind trilogy. Set in a new world of corruption, deceit and thievery; mixing magical fantasy and alchemypunk with a healthy smattering of airshippery. "There comes a point in every thief's life where one has to take stock of all that they have achieved. We have stolen almost everything there is worth stealing: Prince Henri's Jadefire ring, the Marquisse d'Bola's collection of prized toy soldiers, Elize Gion's Living Autumn, the very first airship schematic, and who could forget we definitely made off with Baron Rivette's pride. The trick, I find, is not to break in. No. The trick is to convince the mark to invite you in."

Hayes’ debut effort, I was suitably impressed. With this tale being a standalone and specifically not related to his previous trilogy, I was wondering how this effort would turn out be.Isabel de Rosier and Jacques Revou are two consummate thieves who have accomplished several different sorts of heists and larceny. Their most recent efforts have them squarely in the sights of Renard Daron, the shadow conceiller to the king of Sassaille. Isabel and Jacques are forced into a final job for Renard Daron and fiercely watched by Daron's two deadly shadows Franseza Goy & Amaury Roche. Going into a job blind, has never been their sort of thing but with all their bank accounts frozen and with not a single penny to their name. Isabel and Jacques must learn to dance to the shadow conceiller's tune however they are not without their own tricks.This was a very different offering from the author’s debut, and I’m glad for that very reason. So often authors tend to repeat what they have done before and they run the risk of being labeled as one-trick ponies. Rob J. Hayes certainly bucks that trend with this standalone tale about thieves coerced into working with a spymaster for his own nefarious ends. Also this story is a far cry from his previous work which made most grimdark stories look like YA ones.As with the previous books, the characters are what make this story so enjoyable, beginning with our main characters, who are quite an adorable duo. They keep the story from getting too dreary and also keep the reader entertained. Another plus point is that the author makes their voices distinct so as to not confuse them. Also with the other POV characters, they are quite individualistic and also make the story that much more intriguing. Ultimately this story is about wills and the deception that people engage in. With Isabel and Jacques, it’s all about their skills in fooling people into believing whatever they want them to. With Daron, it’s basically about the kingdom and its needs, however what Daron thinks what’s best for the kingdom might not be entirely correct.Amaury and Franseza aren’t given that much space but their motivations and instincts are quite clear to discern. The story is quite fast paced and has a reasonable amount of twists that will keep the readers wanting to know how it will all end. A trick the author utilizes is the use of flashbacks before the start of the chapters, which further help in fleshing out the story and the characters. Another plus point is that the world setting which includes air ships, guns and a remarkable type of creature that the readers will have to find out more on their own. The world technology level is set about a pre-industrial level and the characters and world seems to be based on French culture which is a slightly refreshing change from the usual British one.I thought this book was a fun read that offered some remarkable twists and ended the tale on a strong note. The ending however also lends to a sequel should the author ever want to revisit the world but the ending I must say is a proper one and the story can be considered complete. In the age of numerous series, it’s very refreshing to see a proper standalone story and in this case, it was good to see a different story from an author whom I have very high expectations for.CONCLUSION: "It Takes A Thief To Catch A Sunrise" by Rob J. Hayes is a surprisingly fun steampunk thriller even though it deals with deception, spy craft and other dastardly activities. Rob J. Hayes certainly is his own writer and know how to buck reader expectations and give a story which while different is no less a page-turner than his fabulous debut.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Airships, Alchemy, and Assassinations By Edea Pitre Baldwin At first, this book was so different from the Ties That Bind Trilogy, I was a little dismayed. But it didn't take long before the escapades of Jaques and Isabelle, master thieves and charlatans, caught my fancy. The pair are recruited to assume the guises of Baron and Baroness Bonvillain in order to gain social acceptance into the palace, where they discover a weak king who is easily controlled by their "employer" and a foreign queen about to birth the heir. The true nature of their mission is revealed only towards the end, when they realize no one can be trusted.This rollicking tale has duels, airships powered by crystals, deadly automatons, thrilling escapes, nefarious plots, murder and mayhem.......in short, all the elements of a great adventure! The finale leaves open the possibility of a sequel, which I am hoping the author carries out.The Kindle edition has some wording errors, but they don't detract from the overall story. Hopefully, these will be caught and corrected.

In fact it is very different but don't let it put you off because it is still very well written in that funny and witty way that By Amazon Customer As mentioned before, this book is a standalone story unrelated to the previous trilogy universe.In fact it is very different but don't let it put you off because it is still very well written in that funny and witty way that I grew to love from the Ties That Bind trilogy.It is still about some criminals that try to pull of jobs and you want them to succeed desperately.I found it gripping, characters very well developed and once you into the first few chapters its very hard to put it down :)
