Basic plot-line: Gen, who brags he is the best thief in the land, is employed by the King's right-hand man to take part in an adventure to steal an object known as Hamiathes's Gift.
This book seemed to get off to a very slow start. I was almost half-way through before my interest was finally perked. I loved the stories of the gods that Gen and the magus started telling - it amazed me that the author could make up her own myths in the style of the Greek ones without actually copying them. The characters started fleshing out and I began to like or dislike them accordingly.
As soon as I reached the point where the company reached their destination, I turned page after page, barely able to read fast enough to find out what would happen next. At times I found myself gripping the book tightly in both hands, almost gasping for breath in the midst of the suspense and action!
By the time I read the last sentence I was left with a feeling of satisfaction and decided that, slow beginning ignored, I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I will definitely be picking up the sequel.
Three and a half stars.
