Title: Slow Start but Good Story
Product review: An Amazon recommendation I bought on a whim - this book is about a thief, Gen, who starts the book in the King's prison having boasted about his plans to steal the King's seal. He is then taken out of jail to steal a precious stone that gives immortality to the holder. The stone is hidden away in an underground cave that only opens for a few days each year, and is otherwised covered by a river.The book is slow going in places - particularly at the start. Written in the first person, it somehow failed to engage me in Gen's plight. Nevertheless it has a nice twist in the ending. It then is perhaps a trifle slow wrapping up. Not a bad read, but could have been better executed.Nevertheless, the slow start aside, this was a great mystery with some nice twists and the action, when it came, was very exciting. definitely worth a read.
