About this listen

The Thieves Guild is renowned for their ability to steal anything. Its elite members have robbed nobles of wealth, reputation, and even their honor. The Guildmaster rules them with brutality and fear, yet his name and past are a mystery. From the depths of the Evermist swamp, he seeks a master thief, one who can help him reclaim his lost power.

Young and brash, Jack Myst has drawn the Guildmaster's attention. His feats mark his potential, but his audacity and cunning make him dangerous. After years of preparation, an invitation from the guild is exactly what he desires. When he gets it, his hunt begins, and there is nothing he cannot steal.

Even the Guildmaster's secret.

Coming straight off the Cycle series of books, I found this to be exactly what I was after. A refreshing tale of thieves and revenge with a flair of bond.
The story had an excellent conclusion while peppering hints throughout the tale of a much larger plot with an intriguing cultist history of ancient civilisation.
Jack of thieves contains everything I could want in a modern fantasy story and I cannot wait to begin book no. 2

There is nothing particularly wrong with "Jack of Thieves" I believe some people would rather enjoy it. Personnally I found it kinda bland and lacking in personality, Jack himself is pretty by the numbers and isn't a very interesting character.

The writing is quite simplistic and the plots pretty basic. But if your just looking for a time killer then you'll enjoy it. If however your looking for something with a bit more flair I wouldn't recomened it.

The narrator isn't the best I've heard, but he does a decent job. In conclusion: a good journey, not a great one.

okay, not great.

Everything the words Smirk or Trio gets used... take a shot of something strong. You won't get past the first few chapters. I'm enjoying the series but the author needs to find some new descriptive words.

The narrator did incredibly well considering the low quality material he had to work with. The main character amount to an arrogant f***boy with no depth, or any real 'character' to speak of. The aim was clearly to create a witty brash character (think Locke, from The Gentleman Bastards) which failed so spectacularly, I found myself both frustrated and disappointed.
Aside from the saucer- deep characters across the board, the story is so predictable, that I have had more unexpected and suprising sneezes.
Don't waste your precious time on this one

so so very bad
