There are several books in my life that I love but am always afraid to reread. Because there's no way they're actually as good as I remember. But I'm always wrong (thank goodness). It's difficult to talk about this book. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone, so I'll just say The Thief is a gr...
I was drawn to read The Thief because I’d heard amazing things about its sequel, The Queen of Attolia, and I wanted to get into the series and see what everyone was so excited about.The Thief is the story of a – you guessed it – thief named Gen who is forced into using his considerable talent agains...
You must know this first. I am smitten. The Queen's Thief is why I read. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Will someone please explain why I haven't heard of Megan Whalen Turner or The Queen's Thief before? What else has the world been hiding from me that I should already know about? Tell me you haven't ...
Have you ever looked at a book cover and not really see the whole "picture". I just did that, as I'm typing up this post. You see I have the hardback copy and it has a really old cover. See look at it. Who in the world would pick this book by it's cover? i just noticed the shadow of the hand. I ...
January 1, 2012I enjoyed the medieval Greece-like setting, the stories of the gods, the elaborate heist, as well as the real politic of the international situation. A really good adventure story with characters that gradually are revealed to us. My only complaint was that it was pretty much d...
A very intriguing start to a fantasy series, I found myself engrossed with Gen’s character. I absolutely loved reading from his perspective and his playfulness was refreshing from other angsty narratives in other YA stories. I just wish we had more of a view of his surroundings since we get to know ...
Spoiler Rating: Low My Lizzy, Just shy of five years ago I said This book is made of awesome, and you replied, I think I shall have to look into this. According to your Goodreads account, you never did. I'm not making any accusations here, but you missed out. I just want you to know that. Th...
The Thief is a book I have had on my list for a while as I have heard it recommended many times. I finally made time for it :) I did really enjoy it. It did take me a bit to get into it, but once I had the storyline/characters down I started to enjoy it. I particularly enjoyed the twist near the e...
This was enjoyable. Many people code it as young adult, maybe because of the fairly simple plot, but I'm pretty sure the protagonist was an adult. I usually don't code something YA unless the main characters are teenagers. But it doesn't matter, it was a fun read. Unlike some readers I didn't th...
I've had this book on my "to read" list for awhile, but just never seemed to get around to it. It came up on sale for the kindle for $1.99 and I could no longer resist. It is fantastic. I was engrossed from the beginning even though I thought I knew how it would turn out. I did figure out a few ...
