The story was pretty well paced not perfect but good. The minor characters are outstanding. The protagonist Ren is young orphan who has a fierce loyalty that is admirable. At one point I was wondering where the Author was taking us. However, I was not disappointed in the end. slow story. Not bad but struggled to hold my interest. I put it down to read more interesting books in between. This is a terrific book that will appeal to those who like fairy tales and adventure stories. It is a substantive book that is thought provoking on many levels. Full of interesting plot turns, it is engaging to the end. Loved this book. If you like Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped and Treasure Island, you will enjoy this novel which I think is the author's debut (other than short stories). The characters really come alive in this book and I think it would also translate into a great movie because of that. It can be macabre, but the author is soooo good at it ! Also some kind of dark sense of humor that surprised me - I was laughing in some parts that I was also grimacing at ! Have fun with this one and can't wait for the next. no reviews | add a review

The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti was made available through LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Sign up to possibly get pre-publication copies of books.
The Good Thief was an adventure story about an orphan who is adopted by a stranger who professes to be a long lost relative. Rather obviously this stranger isn't who he professes to be but the story is an exciting one with plenty of clever twists and turns. Ren befriends a good number of interesting characters including a "giant" that they dug up in a cemetery and a dwarf that sneaks down a chimney everynight. It was very similar in many ways to Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Story which I liked as well. (
