A nice diversion, which pays homage to Zelazny's AMBER books by way of Aspirin's THIEVES WORLD. I'm partial to the "smart-aleck first person" POV, and I'm willing to cut the author some slack since it's his first book. There's nothing all that NEW here, but it's told well, and it held my interest to the end.
I'll try to remember to post more after our book discussion.

View our feature on Douglas Hulick's Among Thieves.
Drothe has been a member of the Kin for years, rubbing elbows with thieves and murderers in the employ of a crime lord while smuggling relics on the side. But when an ancient book falls into his hands, Drothe finds himself in possession of a relic capable of bringing down emperors-a relic everyone in the underworld would kill to obtain.
