And I’d heard of an awesome twist that happens in The Thief, so I was curious about that as well. I was intrigued enough that I wanted to see how things ended. Honestly, his narration was pretty much the only reason I even finished it. I must have at least a little romance in my books or I start to go a little nuts! However, I quickly changed my mind when I found out that Steve West narrates these books because I’m basically in love with him. I’ve been hearing great things about Megan Whalen Turner’s Queen’s Thief series for years, but wasn’t ever really interested in The Thief because there’s no romance in it.

Their journey toward the treasure is both dangerous and difficult, lightened only imperceptibly by the tales they tell of the old gods and goddesses. What Gen is interested in is anyone's guess. The magus is interested only in the thief's abilities. To attain it for his king, he needs a skillful thief, and he selects Gen from the king's prison. The king's scholar, the magus, believes he knows the site of an ancient treasure. Published by Greenwillow Books on December 27, 2005
