Review of 'The Thief' on 'Storygraph'

Eugenides, the queen's thief, can steal anything, or so he says. When his boasting lands him in prison and the king's magus invites him on a quest to steal a legendary object, he's in no position to refuse. The magus thinks he has the right tool for the job, but Gen has plans of his own.
