God Stalk by P.C. Hodgell

3.0

I'm not really clear what the point of this book even was - except to set up book 2. There isn't much in the way of a plot, and a lot of the characters have no point. Why does Jame become a thief if she thinks it is wrong and doesn't even really steal much? She becomes apprenticed to the greatest thief in existence, but we really don't see him much or learn anything about her training. It was mostly entertaining to read, just not sure what the plot was or the point - except to meet Marc and get the cat as a pet.

I also don't love her writing style. There were several times where she writes something and I'm unclear who she is referencing or who was speaking. There wasn't much character development either. There's no one you're going to fall in love with or even hate. I'll give book 2 a shot, since I already bought it - could be book 1 was just a really long set up for the rest of the series.
