Summary: This Book will Steal Your Interest!
Review: Gen was not 'just' a petty thief! He was an excellent one, with attitude, pride, wit and of course, a 'big' secret of his own. I totally enjoyed his interaction among the Magus group. From the first page, you will build a maze in your mind, trying to guess who was Gen, what was he going to do next and why did he do what he did. It's like starting from the folded end of a folded rope and ending to find the start and the end of the rope tied majestically, with the gods' meddling in it :).
I couldn't stop being surprised and touched by the relationship bertween the Magus and Gen, a not-successful too-much-bragging thief the Magus thought he was. How the clash between them changed into a deep and honorful friendship. Not to mention Gen's outright comments that sometimes got the best of him and his effort to place Gen back into just a tool to steal. I can't get enough of it. Mrs. Turner surely knows who her characters were.
In the end... No, I don't want it to get ended coz I will pick The Queen of Attolia right from my shelf next... I think I will get back to this book after I finished rereading that one too after a looong time :))
Thank you for waking me up from a long dull slumber. This is more than a 10 starred worth review for it.

Summary: The Thief
Review: 'The Theif' is one of the most captivating books I have read for ages. Megan Whaler Turner does an amazing job with all the characters; the Magus is stern and authoritative but decidedly human and you cannot help but love Eugenides, if only for his sarcasm, quick wit and the singular annoyance he is to absolutely everyone. The twist at the end, you will kick yourself for not spotting but it is so well done that suddenly the whole story falls into light. It is truly beautifully written and so engrossing that I read it straight through once, then flicked back to the beginning and read the whole thing again!! So should you!

Summary: The Thief
Review: In The Thief , an accomplished Sounis thief named Gen claims he can steal anything. But when the king's magus hires Gen to steal Hamiathe's Gift, a stone dipped in the waters of immortality, he gets caught in a sticky situation. He will have to betray his true kingdom, Eddis, or his new colleagues. This book is character & plot driven. Not only does Gen change his thoughts about his soldier father, but there are also some exciting battles & escapes. Therefore, this book is both character & plot driven. Since I enjoy fantasy books, I ws interested in the author's writing style. Most of the fantasy books I've read aren't in first person, & yet this book is. She also tells the reader a lot of things in very few words. Because of her particular writing style I enjoyed this book a lot.
