The Thief of Always: A Fable
by Clive Barker
dark
hopeful
reflective
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
No
Not particularly scary, and certainly a change of tone from the overwritten, prurient, and gruesome tales I would previously have used to describe Barker’s body of work. Who knew he could write a charming little YA chiller?
