Here is what people are saying about the The Thief
5 Star Rating  "Clever and Surprising!"2009-10-05
- Reviewed By User: AMNBCQ6E18AQ9
When I first started reading this book I thought it would be a pretty typical rags-to-riches story. You know the kind, where some poor but deserving hero manages to pull off great feats and is rewarded with piles of gold, a castle or two and a beautiful maiden. Well, that didn't happen.

Gen, the thief with the big mouth, does what thieves do best: He lies, cheats and steals. Then, for the sake of the readers, Gen produces a surprise ending that will leave you smirking in a way very similar to Gen's smirks. Who'd'u've thunk it?

If you like clever characters with more up their sleeves than their arms, this book is for you. Keep your eyes on the thief and enjoy the book!

You might also want to look up the sequels to this book: The Queen of Attolia (book 2) and The King of Attolia (book 3). Gen has many tricks up his sleeves in those books too and will always keep you guessing.

With memorable characters and plenty of heart, the Queen's Thief books are fun and entertaining!

We are in the last week of summer vacation. Since my son did not put much effort in his last English class- therefore he has to finish one book report per week...and you get to read it:

One of the most suspenseful books of itís time, The Thief by Megan Turner delivers a gasp inducing story of a thief named Gen, who is manipulated to do the dirty work of a much more evil intention. As the story progresses, the unexplained phenomenon that seemed small at first reveal their true purpose, and the characters are reveal why they do what they do.

Gen, a common thief who has spent eight years in prison due to his bragging that he could ìSteal anything, under any circumstanceî. After five of his eight years in prison pass, The kingís most trusted advisor visits Gen in jail and tells him a proposal. The magus, as he was called, offered Gen his freedom should he succeed in stealing something valuable from the queen of a mountain kingdom. A month after this proposal, Gen, the magus, and three other people set off for the distant land. The three others were Pol, an immensely strong and silent man with an impatient personality. Along with them were brothers Sophos and Ambraides, two apprentices of the magus with a lot of information that they were holding back. Together, all five of them traveled over seventy miles on horseback in three days to the mountains, where they were confronted with the palace guards asking for their business here. The magus told them that they were traders with goods to sell, and with difficulty, they convinced the guards to allow them to pass through. As they were camping out for the night, the magus accidentally admitted what Gen was supposed to steal, a sacred stone that is said to grant the bearer immortality for as long as they have the stone. The magus disdainfully reveals that the king of their land hoped to start a war amongst the three kingdoms that resided in the land. Gen, pretending to agree with the kings plan, concocted an idea of foiling their plans and expelling the king from his throne. During their heist, Gen had placed the stone inside the magusís pocket as the palace entrance guards were searching them, along with a faked letter of instructions from the king ordering the magus to provoke an ancient grudge that all three kingdoms had been nursing or centuries. The king wanted all that anger to be released in flat-out war.

The Thief took place in medieval times were castles, kings, and knights still existed. Rather than the wondrous and magical utopia many other stories had portrayed, this book displays a grimmer time in human history. The dungeons where Gen had been held prisoner were described not much unlike the jails today. Metal beds with sawdust pillows, a hole with a rim around it as a toilet, and metal bars separating them from the rest of the world.
The characters were very mysterious, as if each had a difficult past and wished not of reminisce about it. Pol had the best role as he was the one who proved to have brawn and brain, yet not quite dexterous when they were attempting their heist. Ambraides was a skilled 19 year old with a knack for sword fighting, yet his brother was quite the opposite. At 15, he was extremely smart and was keen for knowledge, now matter how useless. The magus was a complex character as he played such a large part in the story, yet there was apparently more to him than meets the eye.
I loved the storyís plot, and also the basic structure was very well made. As the story progressed, twists and turns in the story that gave me chills.

Mix magic and Greek gods and a very lively and entertaining little thief, and you have a clever youth book. Sometimes gets hard to follow, but on the whole is an entertaining read, with some clever twists. Ages 11-14

I do NOT recommend Book 2 in the series.

I did not like this book because I thought it was boring. The first half of the book is them just walking. Then the middle is pretty cool but then they just walk back.
 
5 Star Rating  "A Great Experience"2009-06-10
- Reviewed By User: AY9TMYZ5D215B
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.

I loved this book! Turner creates an intricate plot line with likable characters. A truly well thought out and entertaining read! The surprise ending was completely unexpected.
