I had The Thief on my shelf for years before I ever picked it up. I can't even tell you why. But I've [finally] recently picked it up and actually just finished A Conspiracy of Kings (the fourth book in teh series) yesterday, so I'm already anticipating being back in this world. And I love that cover!!!
