Like, I wanted to slap him upside the head all the time but didn’t because he’s STEVE WEST so I refrained from getting too mad. Things were very uneventful for a long time.Ģ. A LOT of walking and traveling and horseback riding and stopping for camp at night. The bulk of this story takes place during a journey toward a mythical treasure. A word to the lovers of this series: don’t make it sound THAT amazing and filled with twists and action because I built it all up so much in my head that I’m not sure anything would have lived up to my anticipation. 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.
