... The Blue Sword, Beauty, Chalice) and Kristin Cashore (Graceling, Fire). Possibly also Megan Whalen Turner (The Thief and sequels). Good luck!

The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. He doesn't lie exactly, but he sure does keep some vital information to himself!

I haven't read Liar, but I have read books with an unreliable narrator. The Thief comes to mind right off the top of my head. Some adult books that come to mind are The Remains of the Day and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. These are all very different, but they share the fact that the ...

I'd recommend The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner, and its sequels Queen of Attolia and King of Attolia (and, coming out next spring, A Conspiracy of Kings -- I'm so excited about that!). I do recommend them to a lot of people in general, and I also glanced at your library and profile (is ...

I haven't read The Thief but I have read Holes.

I haven't read The Thief Lord, But I have read The Thief.

... Moving Castle, all by Diana Wynne Jones... you can tell she's one of my favorite authors.... Lirael, by Garth Nix The Thief, by Megan Whalen Turner Plus a bunch of Tamora Pierce books that I've been reading forever and have kind of become favorites by default. As you can see, I ...

The thief by Megan Whalen Turner

... by Megan Whalen Turner? Not exactly "epic," but some of the most satisfying fantasy I have ever read. They are, in order, The Thief, The Queen of Attolia, and The King of Attolia. TQA is my favorite, followed closely by TKA. You could also try C. S. Lewis' Space Trilogy (Out of the Sil ...

... Captain Wentworth (Persausion), Shevraeth (Crown Duel) - he's just so cool, calm and collected; Sirius Black (HP), Gen (The Thief, Queen of Attolia, King of Attolia) - cleverest, tricksiest character ever; Kent (Summers at Castle Auburn), always good when the boy's loved the heroine ...

I finished The Thief this weekend and it was great. I think Foggi mentioned it a while back and I'm just getting around to it. But better late than never! I really enjoyed it. It will definitely be one I reread often.

... it was "ridiculous" to get more books (silly me), I bought in Victoria: 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner Letters From India by Lady Wilson Grave Goods by Ariana Franklin We Shall Not ...

... maybe Espy's). Also, just so you know, the sequels (The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia) are even better than The Thief, in my opinion. And the next book comes out in the spring! Hurray! Today, I read When You Reach Me, which was very good -- juvenile fiction with a little ...

It took me awhile to get into it, but I really liked The Thief! There were a lot of things I didn't see coming and now I want to reread to see if I catch the hints. Next I think I am going to read Brunelleschi's Dome if I ever get to the library. In the meantime I am going to read some of J ...

I just started reading The Thief, one of the books recommended to me by LTer's at our meet-up. I like it so far. The city it starts out in reminds me of the city in The Horse and His Boy.

I love The Thief and its two sequels The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia. I also thought I am the Messenger was a must read.

#42 -- Did she check? Because The Thief won a Newbery honor, and the next book in its series is coming out this winter. (I know it's not what your patron was looking for . . . I'm just saying.) It seems like there are a lot of popular children's and YA books with "thief" in the title right now ...

>18, 21, 22 cmbohn, christina, zoe: Thanks for the recommendation for The Thief. I've seen it on some threads and thought it looked interesting, so I'm glad to know it is really good. I see that the first Percy Jackson book is The Lightning Thief, which also sounds good. And no wonder ...

... several people are doing a fairy tales/myths/legends category - I'm among them too! :) Also, re #18, I totally agree that The Thief and sequels are excellent books!

For your myth category, I enjoyed The Thief. It was really, really good. I also am a big fan of the Percy Jackson series. And for King Arthur, if you haven't ever read the original Gawain and the Green Knight, it is worth reading. It's not easy, but I really loved it once I got going.

#57 - I didn't know, either, until a friend told me! I think Howl is great in the third book :-) Now I'm reading The Thief, which has come highly recommended. I seem to be on a YA fantasy binge!

#12 - I just started reading The thief last night (although I had to put it down a few pages in since I was so tired). I've heard so many good reviews in the past couple of weeks that I couldn't resist!

Kittybee in Read YA Lit : YA Romance books lauren97224 (Jun 20, 2009, 9:13am)

Although the first book in the series doesn't have romance, the two sequels to The Thief which are The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia do and the whole series is great!

Sibylle.Night in What Are You Reading Now? : What are you reading the week of 9 May, 2009? (May 11, 2009, 2:19pm)

I finished The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner (good but not great, I have trouble finding books that don't do more than narrate an adventure story "great"). I'd be interested in reading the sequels to see how they compare. I'm starting The Monk by Matthew Lewis.

You should try the Attolia books by Megan Whalen Turner. They are, in order, The Thief, The Queen of Attolia, and The King of Attolia. It's fantasy with great writing and unforgettable characters. The only problem is that we fans are eagerly awaiting the fourth book, and it's taking FOREVE ...

The Attolia series by Megan Whalen Turner, starting with the thief has a Greek feel to it, with some nicely busy-body gods, plenty of action, and a great romance in the later books in the series. Atlantis features in Prospero's Children by Jan Siegel, but it's maybe not action-packed enough ...

... The Other Book because I have it out from the library and feel compelled to read it before it's extremely late. The Thief is on my TBR pile. Glad to know the series only gets better -- that's rare!

Oh, enjoy The Thief! I love that book! And the sequels are, in my opinion, even better. I'm almost done with Little Women, which is a good thing because I have TBRs stacking up like planes over Atlanta.

... to Heir Apparent, which I love, but the narrator was a little annoying. Still, the story was great. I'm going to start The Thief tonight. And I got The Well of Ascension and Men at Arms from the bookstore today, happy happy!

... Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud. Both are young adult fantasy that I recommend as often as I can. Oh, along with The Thief and the rest of the Attolia series by Megan Whalen Turner. Enjoy!

... lovely sly wit that endears it to me. Bartimaeus' footnotes are particularly hilarious. Give it a try! And have you read The Thief? You might want to take a look at that series, as well.

#16: The second two Attolia books after The Thief (The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia) are way better than the first (much as I love The Thief).

... The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova 5. The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss If it weren't a reread, I would add The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner.

... and most of them have written trilogies, or "connected" works at the very least -- Kay, McKillip, Tolkien, deLint, Cooper. The Thief and its sequels are also high on my list. I don't think anyone has mentioned the Damiano trilogy; any other MacAvoy fans out there?

Wizard Howl, of Howl's Moving Castle, and Eugenides, from Megan Whalen Turner's series of The Thief, The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia (and I do hope she writes a fourth). Guess I have a soft spot for scapegraces.

For once I've actually read some YA! I love summer. I read The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner and In the Coils of the Snake, the third book in the Hollow Kingdom trilogy by Clare B Dunkle. I liked the latter more than the former; I felt like in The Thief the author had to try too hard to ...

12. The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. I was sort of disappointed by this book, though I've heard that the next two are much better. It took me surprisingly long to read, considering that it's a children's book, because the first half wasn't engaging enough. There was a great twist towards the ...

>81 -- The Thief is one of my all-time favorites as well as its sequel, The Queen of Attolia. I highly recommend that series! I'm enjoying Word Freak very much, though it's giving me even more of a complex about my abominable Scrabble playing. I picked it up to vary my reading with a ...

... an excellent read. It makes you want to play Scrabble when you're done! Right now I'm finishing up Megan Whalen Turner's The Thief (which actually is as good as everybody says it is), and going to start my ER copy of The 19th Wife.

Oh, I also love The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner -- also the other two books in the series, The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia.

Megan Whalen Turner's Attolia books are amazing. They are, in order, The Thief, The Queen of Attolia, and The King of Attolia. It's very important you read them in that order or you will miss a very cool twist. I never get tired of rereading these books, and I am dying for the fourth to come ...

Hmmm... difficult one, that. I'd second the recommendations for The Curse of Chalion and The Thief. The chronicles of Morgaine by C J Cherryh, and The Steerswoman's Road by Rosemary Kirstein get around the magic ban by treading a fine line between fantasy and science fiction. ...

... I enjoyed both books so much that I trundled off to my local bookstore and bought myself personal copies. I also rescued The Thief from the seller pile so I'd have the complete series. What Was Always Hers was definitely the least enjoyable book I read. The more I think about it, the ...

... I decided to sample some of the young adult books I have around. I read Megan Whalen Turner's fantastic three books -- The Thief, The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia. These three stories never fail to inspire, amaze and awe me. They take place in a world with rather subtle ...

... sequels yet. I think I was waiting for them to be rereleased here in the states (I want to say, they're Canadian...). The Thief was a little odd and I'm not sure how much I liked it either. But obviously, I liked it enough to read the sequels - which I thought were much better. And each ...

... Sword, maybe -- I can't remember any magic in those. Also, if you're willing to allow communication with the gods, then The Thief and the two that follow it by Megan Whalen Turner might fit your requirements.

>107 foggidawn, I just finished reading The Thief per your recommendation. What an interesting set of complex, not entirely lovable characters! I especially liked the invented mythology, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. For you I recommend The Sherwood Ring, an older N ...

I finished Eclipse yesterday, and I just finished The Thief today. Both were really good!

... got a paperback edition of that awhile back. Lovely book, I bet the Folio edition will be even lovelier. #156 xicanti, Megan Whalen Turner's trilogy sounds very appealing and now your recommendation has made me add it to my wish list. CBC recommended it too, I think I should listen and get ...

The Attolia series by Megan Whalen Turner, starting with The Thief are my favourites. The writing is quite spare and simple, but the character of Eugenides is just so devious! Beth Hilgartner's A business of ferrets is another YA fantasy with great characters. c j Cherryh's The ...

Thanks foggidawn -- I don't know The Thief and it looks good. I've just put a hold on it at the library. Thanks also to A_Musing -- I ordered the fables and am looking forward to them!

aviddiva, based on our shared works, I'd recommend The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. GeorgiaDawn, on the same criteria, I'm suggesting The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall for you.

Oh! I almost forgot Eugenides from The Thief/Queen of Attolia/King of Attolia! Definitely a favorite.

9. The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner - seller keeper I originally designated this book as a seller, but have had to change my mind now that I've read the next two books in the series. While The Thief's ending was excellent, I didn't feel that it quite made up for ...

I finished The Thief on my afternoon break. The beginning was rather slow, but I enjoyed it from about the halfway point onwards. I'm still very much in a children's lit mood, so I plan to tackle The Ruins of Gorlan by John Flanagan next. I've heard a lot of good things about this Austral ...

Tithe was just as quick a read as I anticipated, so I've moved on to The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. I'm in a children's/YA lit mood right now.

I enjoyed The Thief when I read it a year or so ago, and I found it to be an above-average historical fantasy for older juvenile to young adult readers. I've also read The Queen of Attolia and found it to be just as good as The Thief. I have yet to read The King of Attolia, but I have high ...
