This is a great fantasy book with some marvelous plot twists and turns. I read it because one of our student's parents recommended it and we are thinking of having Megan Whalen Turner, the author, come visit our school. I was delighted with the book!
The main character of the novel is Gen and he is the thief mentioned in the title. Gen is a great thief, or so he says, to a lot of people. His bragging and foolhardiness lands him in the king of Sounis' prison where he is left to rot. Unexpectedly, he is freed by the king's magus in exchange for finding and stealing a magical, mythical stone from the gods. Is Gen just full of hot air, or are his skills as a thief as good as he says? Readers should expect action, intrigue, fun and an old fashioned good read.
