this is the same book as the newer printing by Megan Whalen Turner. Its a fun book about a thief sent to steal a very important artifact from a temple god. Its very well written and the voice of Gen, the thief, is unique.
However, I feel I was the wrong age group for this book. This book appears to be appropriate for grades 5-8 and isn't really one of those YA novels that are enjoyed by the older masses. It takes about 150 pages (its only 214 pgs) for any action to even begin and even after that you still haven't really figured out where the story is going. Wasn't my cup of tea.
