The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner

5.0

This book was really fascinating from a point of view perspective. The story is told from a first person perspective with what I would say is a fairly unreliable narrator. The author manages to communicate the traits of the narrator, Gen, without telling you much about who Gen is. You go through most of the story knowing nothing for sure about Gen's backstory, but when things are revealed it is not so out of the blue that you are surprised by the turn of the events. You get a good sense of Gen's character, despite how irritating it might be in the beginning, and as the story goes on he starts to grow on you so that you very much want to see him succeed.
