The Thief

The Thief is by Megan Whalen Turner. The Thief is the first book in a trilogy by Turner, in order The Thief, The Queen of Attolia, and The King of Attolia. The Thief introduces us to Gen, short for Eugenides. He is a thief, a good one, though the story begins with him in prison. He is released by the Magus who needs a good thief to steal something for him; but Gen is more than he appears. A good book that reminds you of Greek myths crossed with Medieval England. A very good cross between historical fiction and fantasy read.

Ratings: 7th grade - 8 out of 10 - MP (very mild profanity).
