Rail and Moa are petty thieves living on the island of Orokos and subject to the sudden changes that the probability storms bring-streets that move, rivers that overflow, life that turns to death. Rail struggles to breath because a long ago storm damaged his lungs, and Moa has been an outcast for as long as she can remember. But at least they have each other, and now they have stolen an object with strange powers--its wearer can walk through walls. Any thief would want it, but other people want it too, and will do anything to get it from them. So Rail and Moa go on the run, trying to avoid being caught while worrying about when the next probablity storm will hit. Along the way they encounter a creature not effected by the storms, an underground gang that is trying to escape the island, and the very secrets of the probablity storms themselves. Not as great as I thought it would be. It was too slow. ( )

I can't tell you any more than any of the other reviews. I can tell you that this was an awesome read and I am really hoping there is more to come of Rail and Moa. ( )

Imagine your life in the midst of probability storms. Storms that blow through and bring random changes to anything or everything. You might awaken after such a storm to find your eye color changed, your house turned to glass, or, horribly, yourself turned into some other creature. These are the storms that haunt the island of Orokos. The inhabitants of this island believe that nothing else exists beyond their shores but sea. They cannot escape the storms or the evil spirits who are constantly entering different parts of the city with the intent to kill. Imagine that this is your life and you may have found a way to escape everything. But there are risks, grave risks. What would you do? Live this story by reading "The Storm Thief". You won't be sorry! ( )

it was an amazing book to read. but i wish that the author was able to tell us what happend to thise two. it was a bit of a fast paced ending but maby it only made this book more enjoy-a-bull!! ( )

This is the year of golem books and The Storm Thief has, perhaps, the very best one. Wooding asks readers to consider the question: What is the price of order? Rail and Moa steal an artifact, a powerful totem and now they are the target of extremely powerful city leaders who want them dead. ( )
