The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner
4.0
If I could, I would give this book 3.5 stars. In general, I had a really good time reading it, and would definitely recommend it.
While the first half was slow, I still really liked that part. I enjoyed seeing how the characters interacted, and seeing how their relationships developed (positively or negatively).
Roughly the third quarter of the book was awesome. There’s your action-packed YA fantasy stuff. I would say more about that, but then I’d spoil it.
The ending was jarring, but alright. I’ve definitely read worse. A lot was revealed about the characters, and many characters were introduced. However, I still liked the ending well enough that it didn’t decrease my rating too terribly much.
The characters were quite interesting. They all had motives for their actions, layers to their personalities, and unique ways of interacting with the other characters.
The plot made sense for the most part (some things got jumbled at the end), and had a logical sequence of events. The quality writing was also pretty good. There were some areas where the writing was lovely, and others were it wasn’t so good, but it tended to stay in the realm of being unnoticeably bad or good.
