The Thief
by Megan Whalen Turner
"I can steal anything."
After Gen's bragging lands him in the king's prison, the chances of escape look slim. Then the king's scholar, the magus, needs the thief's skill for a seemingly impossible task—to steal a hidden treasure from another land.
To the magus, Gen is just a tool. But Gen is a trickster and a survivor with a plan of his own.*
Gen is such a sarcastic character. Throughout this book and throughout the entire series, I was laughing my head off or reading slack jawed. The writing style has rich context without being a Tolkien. I has everything I can want in a book, while not being predictable.
