Magic Thief

Sorry I haven't been posting every day, I've been a bit busy lately.


I recently reread a great book called The Magic Thief by Sarah Prineas.  It begins with the story of Conn, a young thief in the streets of Wellmet, a fictional city.  He attempts to pickpocket who he think sis an old man walking down the street.  However, the man is actually a local wizard named Nevery.  Conn accidentally grabs the wizard's locus magicalicus-- the stone that wizards use to control the magic-- and it knocks him out.  When he regains his wits, Nevery has decided to take him back to his house.  Conn serves as Nevery's apprentice.  Can he ever make it as a full wizard?  Read to find out!  There are three books in this series so far.  The first book is fantastically written, with lots of detail that enriches the storyline and brings the characters to life.  I would recommend this if you like wizards, magic, and adventure.

Keep reading!
