I can steal anything.
After Gens bragging lands him in the kings prison, the chances of escape look slim. Then the kings scholar, the magus, needs the thiefs skill for a seemingly impossible task -- to steal a hidden treasure from another land.
To the magus, Gen is just a tool. But Gen is a trickster and a survivor with a plan of his own.
A Great Experience
This book was not just a book, it was an amazing experience and an enjoyable ride! I read The Thief, The Queen of Attolia, and The King of Attolia in very quick succession only to find the next book isn't out yet! These books immediately became favorites for both my husband and myself. The writing is witty, the characters are extremely likable (and you get to know them well through dialogue and actions, not long descriptions), and the strategy is intriguing especially as you get further into the series.
This is a fantasy book, but not overly-fantastical, if that makes sense--there are gods that play a part, but don't take over the book and there aren't any wands or magic or fantastical creatures other than that. It's like an adventure story in a medieval-like time that happens to have gods in it. (Don't get me wrong, I love Harry Potter, but this simply isn't that deep into the Fantasy realm.) I mention this only because I know some people are wary of fantasy books.
Buy The Thief (The Queens Thief, Book 1) by Megan Whalen Turner At The Lowest Price!
