...I was quite intrigued by the title of this book. Was it called 'The Good Thief' because it was about a thief who was very good at stealing or was it about someone who, even though he was a thief, was innately a good person. As I read this book, I felt it was probably a bit of both of these which had led to this very apt title.
The thief in question is Ren, a small boy who, when we first meet him, is living in an orphanage in America in the 19th century. The future looks quite bleak because if no one chooses to adopt him he will be sold into the army and, as he only has one hand, this prospect looks quite likely.

Advantages: Incredible story and great characters Disadvantages: Like all Shan books we just want more!

This series is bassed on the belief that there is another universe beyond ours which can be reached through magic where hoards of demons live. And they are constantly trying to find ways through to kill us all. The book itself is based before the first book though it is the second in ther series this is the same with Bec as it is the fourth in the series yet is based before the other 3.
Demon thief is a book focused mainly on revealing the mystery of the disciples, but even more so tells us about the life of a very interesting young man who though weak in traditional magic is more powerful then a Demon Master in some ways.
The tale begins with Kernel Fleck, a lonely boy who has always been different, outcast and with no...
