He shows just the right amount of selfishness and cleverness to appeal to me and I can’t hide that I loved his voice. Gen! Little filthy mouth! Quick-witted and arrogant little thief! I ADORE YOU.Magus, I’ve still not forgiven you for the beating.Ambiades, what’s your deal shut up shut up I am annoyed.Sophos, you’re too sweet for this world, let me cuddle you what stop blushing.Their journey gives us the opportunity to learn more about the world Megan Whalen Turner created, as well as the characters and the complex relationship they develop between each other – there’s more than meets the eyes, and I live for this stuff, okay?Īnd how I loved following these characters! “For my part, I wanted Ambiades to understand that I considered myself a hierarchy of one.” Don’t be too hard on Gen, though : that’s not as if the boy had a choice, being a prisoner and all. YOUR CHOICE.Īnyway, in The Thief, Gen and his *cough* companions have a mission : to steal a magical stone that will have the deplorable effect to give immense powers to the King of Sounis, a… complete asshole. That’s something! And for those of you who swear by TLOTR, that’s okay! We can be friends still! I’m not lending you my couch though. We’re not confronted with Frodo and Sam level of walking, therefore I’m still here and not sleeping on my couch, drooling. So there’s a lot of walking around as I’m sure Fantasy writers are somewhat paid by hiking brands but eh! I wasn’t bored. I know people who think that they are noble, graceful animals, but regardless of what a horse looks like from a distance, never forget that it is as likely to step on your foot as look at you. I really, really liked this? True enough, I’ve decided to start The Thief in order to get to the sequels – that all my friends adore – and somehow I was at peace with the probable boredom I would feel during this first novel and… My enjoyment felt soįrom the characters to the world and the writing, I’ve been enchanted. Their journey toward the treasure is both dangerous and difficult, lightened only imperceptibly by the tales they tell of the old gods and goddesses. What Gen is interested in is anyone's guess. The magus is interested only in the thief's abilities. To attain it for his king, he needs a skillful thief, and he selects Gen from the king's prison. The king's scholar, the magus, believes he knows the site of an ancient treasure.
