Plus, it is entertaining.Īuthor Re-readability: Again, reasonably high. It’s fast-paced and well-written, though, so a reread should go quickly. I do intend to reread it eventually, to get more of the subtleties and to spot clues regarding the twists in the story, but isn’t exerting as massive a draw on me as, say, McKillip’s Bell at Sealey Head or a Sutcliff book. Story Re-readability: Reasonably high, I’d say. The book has a good mix of adventure, humor, and heavier dramatic intrigue, but overall it veers towards “light” adventure rather than a “dark and grim” one. The character of Gen is the most interesting aspect of the book, but the others don’t disappoint either. Reason for Finishing: Fast, fun, intriguing read. Reason for Beginning: Recommended by Urania of The Egotist’s Club (who kindly bought me the book!) also the plot sounded interesting. But on this quest for a hidden treasure, politics, myth, and personal motives entwine dangerously… Spoiler-free Synopsis: The self-proclaimed “greatest thief in Sounis,” Gen is moldering in the King’s prison when the magus, the King’s highest advisor, sets him free in return for his aid on a very secret and difficult journey. Series: 1 st in The Queen’s Thief series, but can be read by itself
