The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner
1.0
This book was a let down.
I think the storyline was quite dull. For the first 50%, the characters are literally just traveling - with zero action - to another country and our main character, Gen, just complains the entire time. Even the ‘exciting’ or ‘action’ scenes in this book were dull.
I think my main problem was how unlikable our main character was. He complains about everything, refuses to help anyone or with anything, purposefully riles up everyone around him then sulks when they get upset or prod back. I wanted to push him off him stupid horse after the 50,000 time he complained he was tired or hungry. I also wasn’t very impressed with his thievery skills.
The one good thing about this book was the myths, but those couldn’t save this book for me.
