The Thief

[lightreads]

The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Greek-influenced fantasy. Boastful thief is let out of the king’s prison to steal something for him. Shenanigans ensue.

Ahahahaha, it’s a book about a thief being let out of prison to work with the guy who caught him and exercise his thiefly skill. I, uh, you could possibly say I have recently developed a weakness for this sort of thing. (Also, White Collar needs to come back on instantaneously, please and thank you).

A fun little bit of juvenilia. A romp, is I believe the word I’m looking for. A little silly around the edges in a *pat, pat* kind of way, and it telegraphs every single plot twist fifty pages out, but you know, it was cute and fun anyway. And I understand the point is the rest of the series, and I’m there.
