Diana Wynne Jones Book Discussion Club "The Thief" by Megan Whalen Turner

Join the Diana Wynne Jones Book Discussion Club as we discuss a book written by an author whose literary career was aided by DWJ. The October book is "The Thief" by Megan Whalen Turner, a 1997 Newbery Honor medal winner:

New York Times-bestselling author Megan Whalen Turner's entrancing and award-winning Queen's Thief novels bring to life the world of the epics and feature one of the most charismatic and incorrigible characters of fiction, Eugenides the thief. Megan Whalen Turner's Queen's Thief novels are rich with political machinations and intrigue, battles lost and won, dangerous journeys, divine intervention, power, passion, revenge, and deception. 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.

 Megan Whalen Turner went on to write a total of six books about Eugenides and released a seventh book of short stories set in his world.
