Customer Reviews of The Thief
The Thief, an excellent book The Thief is one of the best books I have read in a long time. Gen, a common thief, brags in a wine shop that he could steal the king's seal ring. When he steals the ring he is arrested. The Magus, the king of Sounis' scholar, tells him that if he steals a stone and gives it to the king of Sounis he will be released. Who ever possesses the stone is the rightful ruler of Eddis, the neighboring kingdom. Eddis is high in the mountains. It controls the only pass from Sounis to Attolia. So if Sounis controls Eddis he can send an army through Eddis to conquer Attolia. Gen, the Magus, and 3 others spend many days crossing Eddis into Attolia for Gen to steal the stone. When they reach their destination, the river miraculously drains out leaving an opening in the cliff. Gen has 3 nights to recover the stone. At the end of each night the temple fills up with water and on the third night Gen steals the stone which is Hamiathes' gift. Chased by Attolian soldiers at every turn they make their way to Eddis. In Eddis there is a surprise ending. I highly recommend this great book. By Mason, age 10.
Rock On, Gen!!!
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.
A great read!
A thief who is in prison gets offered a special job that only a thief can handle, the reward is freedom. He goes on an adventure with some new companions and the rest is for you to find out!
I reccomend this book to young adults and kids who like action, mythology, and fantasy.
A great read!
