Representaion Concering Books The Thief (The Queen's Thief #1)

The king's scholar, the magus, believes he knows the site of an ancient treasure. To attain it for his king, he needs a skillful thief, and he selects Gen from the king's prison. The magus is interested only in the thief's abilities.

What Gen is interested in is anyone's guess. Their journey toward the treasure is both dangerous and difficult, lightened only imperceptibly by the tales they tell of the old gods and goddesses.

Evaluation Epithetical Books The Thief (The Queen's Thief #1)

Oh, thank gods, I thought. Theyre going to leave me. All I want to do was lie in a dry prickly grass with my feet in a ditch forever. I could be a convenient sort of milemarker, I thought. Get to the thief and you know you are halfway to Methana. Wherever Methana might be. The Thief is a high fantasy with, like any other high fantasy on this planet, a journey the characters undertake. Gen, the main character was a pleasant surprise. While I first thought he was a feminine character, I was

Update 12/29/2018Clearly I can never get tired of Megan Whalen Turners stories and Gens refreshing petulance.Update 6/2011. Let me just say, if you feel so-so about this book (like I did), please give its sequel - The Queen of Attolia - a try. It made me forever and ever a dedicated fan of the series. I have mixed feelings about this book. I enjoyed it, but I think I spoiled the experience for myself a little bit. (view spoiler)[The reviewers like to point to a huge twist at the end of the story

The Thief is the first book in one of my favorite YA series EVER, with just a touch of Greek mythology-inspired fantasy to it. It can be just a little hard to get into at first, but the payoff at the end is brilliant, and the world-building is fantastic. Stick with it through at least the first three books and you won't regret it. Avoid spoilers.Review originally posted at Fantasy Literature. Megan Whalen Turners award-winning 1996 YA fantasy The Thief, set in a fantasy world that has very

Having dutifully tried a few new things to my lack of satisfaction this past week, I turned instead to an old favorite that I knew would be a pleasurable read. This is a book that re-repays a re-re-read, not only soon, but after finishing its sequels once they widen one's view of its world and characters.There is not too much one can say about The Thief that is not a spoiler, and this is a book that should NOT be read with preconceptions. Set in an alternate fantasy world loosely inspired by

Buddy read with some friends at Buddies Books and Baubles I am a master of foolhardy plans, I thought. I have so much practice I consider them professional risks. EVERYONE told me not to expect much from this book and to be patient. They said the beginning isnt very good but the second half is pretty good and the next two books are amazingso just hang in there. Well I found that to be true and false at the same time.It is true the second half of this book is much more interesting, there is

I'm giving up on this one. It's not BAD, just...excruciatingly BORING. To me, anyway. I found the main character obnoxious and all the other characters underdeveloped and uninteresting, and over half way through the book, nothing's really happened--they've started their journey, and then traveled, and traveled, and traveled, and traveled, and traveled, and...you get the picture. I've heard really good things about this series, and maybe at some point in the future I'll give it another try. But I

I started this in the cold winter of 2017 and finished it in the harsh political climate of Trump and Brexit in February 2019. Everyone says the sequels are superb, which is the only reason I pushed on. But boy, was it tedious. 80% of it is traveling and Gen whinging about wanting three meals a day. Despite all the footwork though, I don't have a good handle on this fictional world or its culture.Here's to The Queen of Attolia stepping up its game.
