Book Reviews of The Thief
Book Review: The Clever Thief
Summary: 5 Stars
Only once in a lifetime does a thief get to steal the world's most guarded object, and Gen is getting this chance. Imprisoned inside the king's dungeon for stealing his seal, he is called upon to help retrieve Hamiathes's Gift. It is said that the owner of this precious stone will rule Eddis, the kings neighboring country. The stone is hidden deep beneath a river inside a dangerous labyrinth. Every attempt to steal this stone has ended in death. Except for four nights of the year the cave is submerged in water. He is forced to ride day and night even with the infected wounds on his arm from prison bars. Too weak to travel they must stop frequently delaying their arrival at the cave. They arrive during the second night of the four night period in which the cave is drained of water, leaving only three nights for Gen to find this precious stone. Even though Gen is said to be the best thief in the world all other attempts have failed. Guarded by the gods of the world Gen's chance is slim. Even if he does succeed, each individual of his group has plans of their own. Filled with adventure, betrayal, action and comedy The Thief is a book everyone should read.Book Review: The Clever and the Quick
Summary: 5 Stars
The Clever and the Quick The leave you hanging book The Thief by Megan W. Turrner should be a favorite book of all ages. It?s about a clever thief who lands himself in jail by his bragging. The king asks the court magus if he could use Gen (the thief) as a tool to find the Hamathies?s gift, So Gen can bee freed, And the magus, Sophos, Amiadeos, and Pol can be rewarded. queen. The Thief an adventurous book of quick wit and trust. It is a recommended book of taste and opinions from the characters to the readers. When there is talk about a strange unknown artifact, characters tell the myth after that.
A reason people might not agree with the given explanation is because the book does not capture the readers? attention in the beginning. Or the reader might not understand what the characters are talking about. (But of course the myths explain it all practically. But read this over the edge book?s first two pages and see why most people do and will like it.
Book Review: The Professional
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all I love anykind of book when it's about a thief. This book is about when Gen (the professional thief) lands in the kings prison for thievery. After many months of being exiled from the outer world and not seeing day light for so long, the King's magus calls upon him. The magus wants Gen to steal an ancient relic and in return let Gen go free. When Gen sets off on his journey with the magus and three other associates he comes up with a plan of his own.I highly reccomend this book if you love anything about a thief as I do and if you enjoy acction/adventure. You will also like this book if you derive joy in Megan Whalen Turner Books. I have to say thank you for making this book Mrs. Turner.
