The first time I read "The Thief", I really liked it. But the narrative pace is so brisk and the plot so compelling that I rushed through it. And, given the tricksy nature of both that plot and of the main character, I suspected that if I read it again, I'd have even more fun than I did the first time.
Well, I was right. :D I reread "The Thief" and it was SO GOOD the second time through. Now that I knew what our hero, Eugenides, was up to, I caught so many tricks and traps and nuances that I hadn't even suspected the first time around.
My admiration for Whalen Turner grows and grows. Now I can't wait to reread the rest of the series!
Peace of Christ to you,

I'm going to have to check it out--thanks for the heads up!
Hope you enjoy it! I think Whalen Turner's books are my favorite literary discoveries this year.
And "The Thief" is good, but "The King of Attolia" is the jewel of the collection, I think.
