Thieves' Gambit, Ep. 8: Action Scenes

Season 2: Thieves' Gambit
Written By Anne-Marie Strohman

Action scenes in a thriller novel need to be fast-paced, but fast-paced means more than lots of really quick actions in a row. Erin and Anne-Marie break down three different kinds of action scenes in Thieves’ Gambit to find tips and tricks for hitting the perfect sweet spot of pacing.

Books we talk about:

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
