The Magic Thief: Found

By: Sarah Prineas

Narrated by: Greg Steinbruner

Never turn your back on a dragon!

Sneaking out of prison isn't easy, unless you are a thief, or a wizard. Luckily, Conn is both! Trouble is, once he's out, where does he go? His home is a pile of rubble since he blew it up doing magic. His master, the wizard Nevery, is not happy with him. Worst of all, Conn's been exiled, and staying in the city will mean his death.

But Wellmet is in danger from an evil predator coming to destroy the city, and Conn must set off on a quest to fight it. Suddenly, a huge shadow looms over him and he is swept away by something more awesome than his wildest imaginings. Is Conn brave enough to answer magic's call, or is he really just a thief at heart?

Sarah Prineas's incredible world explodes with adventure, a place where cities run on living magic and heroes come from the most surprising places.

Wow!

My girls and I are huge Sarah Prineas fans and absolutely love her Magic Thief series.

Fun story

I am always listening to children’s books. Oh, to just escape int fun and clean reading.

Great book

I loved the character development and plot line of the series. The author does a great job of capturing a child's mindset.

Captivating

Alway fun to read these books. I am on m way to book 4 now. I can’t wait to see what happens now.

Fantastic fantasy series, wonderful narration!

This is the third book in the Magic Thief series by Prineas. It was an excellent book in this series. The fourth book in this series, Magic Thief: Home, just came out last week. I was unable to find confirmation that there will be a fifth book in the series, but I did find a comment by Prineas saying she does have ideas for a 5th book. This is a wonderful fantasy read that is great for all ages.

I listened to this on audiobook and the audiobooks for this series are incredibly well done. The narrator gets Conn’s voice spot on and does an excellent job with the other characters as well. We listened to this in the car on a road trip as a family and everyone really enjoyed it (my son is 7 years old).

Conn has been exiled from Wellmet and his master Nevery isn’t pleased with him. Conn is determined to stay in the city of Wellmet and protect it from the evil magic that is coming. However, when things take a turn for the worse Conn is forced to leave Wellmet. On his adventures he discovers some truly astonishing secrets about magic and how it is tied to the cities.

This was an excellent book in this series. There is a lot of magic, adventure, and humor. The characters all have great relationships (wonderful friendships and mentor/student) with each other and I really enjoyed that too. I love the positive messages, the humor, and the wonderfully unique magic. This book includes....DRAGONS...so awesome!

Conn is such a plucky youth which such a positive outlook on things. Yet he started life as a thief and is struggling to prove himself as a wizard. He is always determined to do what it right despite what other people try to force him to do. He also always tells the truth, even if other people aren’t happy with that truth. He is funny and daring and just a wonderful character.

We also spend a lot more time with Rowan and the new Lord of Twilight, Ember. Both are wonderful characters. I really enjoy Rowan as a character. She is a young woman with a huge responsibility being thrust on her. She’s a great role model, she knows how to deal with Conn’s independence and she is just a ton of fun to read about.

This book does an excellent job of wrapping up the storyline involving evil magic invading Wellmet. The ending did feel a bit rushed, so I am happy to see there is another book coming out for this series.

Overall this was another wonderful book in this series. I just can’t say enough good things about this series. These books are packed with magic, adventure, and excitement. The characters have healthy relationships, there is humor in here, and I love the characters and world. I can't wait to read Magic Thief: Home when it releases. This whole series is highly recommended to fantasy fans of all ages. It’s one of my favorite middle grade fantasy series ever.

Enjoying the Magic Thief series

Love Everything

Love this whole series and Greg Steinbruner was a perfect choice for the naration of these books!

awsome

It is awesome it is great I have heard this entire series about 20 times

Great but something is missing

The book has a good plot and characters but I need more details there is barely any looking back to times and feelings were are they. And most of the series everybody has to listen to him or he has to listen to them and I just really wish that they kept the first stone or make a better one and not make the dragon eat it witch just makes the character weaker and less capable and not nearly as powerful.Also in the book I hardly seen any love plot I don’t like too much but there is no love plots to the end of the series I think that Rowan and Con would have a great love plot but in the end of the series it looks like Rowan is falling for ember witch came out of the blue and doesn’t make any sense from the descriptions that they both think of each other it would make sense but I hadn’t finished the final book so I’m hopeful I’m really going to be disappointed if Eowan is a thing but is a goood series.
