The ThiefThe Queen's Thief #1Megan Whalen Turner This book wasn't quite what I was expecting, but I enjoyed it even more than I thought I would! Gen is a rather cocksure youth but perhaps justifiably so and he certainly had that air of infallibility that so often comes with being a teenager. His "voice" is … Continue reading #BookReview #Fantasy #YA #TheThief
