About a boy who's the thief to be all and end all thieves in a Medeteranian type place, leaping around roofs like crazy? Of course I compared him to Gen, and of course he wasn't. Not that it was a bad book, it was just fine, but I think I'd have liked it more if I hadn't already read MWT.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15750715350958105088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-14219836111155514092011-04-19T17:56:19.521-05:002011-04-19T17:56:19.521-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15750715350958105088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-13685735757469561622011-04-19T09:38:07.507-05:002011-04-19T09:38:07.507-05:00Jenny, I remember reading this thinking the same t...Jenny, I remember reading this thinking the same thing and being totally disappointed--now I think I should go back and read it for what it is.
