The Good Thief

The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This was such a charming book! Ren is an orphan with a missing hand. Miraculously he is adopted by his "brother" who turns out to be a charming con-man. Together they have adventures and end up in a town with a villian so melodramtic, he fairly twirls his mustache when he speaks. There are giants and dwarves, grave-robbers, women who shout, and men in Hats that are out for blood. Although there are themes like what makes a person "good" and loyalty, it is mostly entertaining in a Dickinson sort of way. The ending seemed a bit heavy for such a light-hearted book, but it was an enjoyable read.
