Gen is a thief. Captured by a king while bragging about a heist, another man at court sees a way to use Gen for different political ends. A YA journey adventure ensues. Very cute! Entertaining, very well drawn characters, and an excellent YA foray into a relatively uncommon shtick that leads to a nice payoff. Though I didn't find it gripping, I will definitely read more in the series. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was written from an interesting perspective and kept me wondering where it was headed. Thoroughly enjoyable fantasy. I thought I'd had all the reveals of the plot figured out before the end of the book, but then I turned out to be completely surprised by how little I had known and was quite pleased with the ending. It didn't come out of nowhere (despite my missing various clues), the story wrapped up nicely, and I was left excited to dive into the next novel of the series with all the possibilities that are now open. A+ This was my first foray into this series, and I enjoyed it very much. In fact, it was one of those books that I liked more and more as I went along. Turner somehow manages to keep you completely engaged and convinced you're following the story just fine while all the while building up to a wonderful reveal/twist. Gen, the main character, is fascinating and just gets more and more so as the story goes on. I'm looking forward to reading more in the series. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

I was mildly disappointed about my first read of 2014. I expected a little bit more of excitement and adventure and I ended up skimming the pages and waiting for the final page to be honest.
Why the 3 stars you say? The little twist at the end was surprisingly good and stirred enough of my curiosity to push me pursuing the rest of the series; which according to the raving reviews, is much better than the first installment.
Let's hope that's true! (
