There is this orphan that is good at stealing, and this guy who trains thieves. For some reason the “thief maker” needs to buy children in order to train them, there is no indication to why. Then he finds the boy to cause him too much trouble, so he sells him to a priest of the god of Trickery. I felt no immersion, no connection with the characters, no sympathy for the world or interest in the story. It could as well pass on present day. There is no fantasy here, nothing for me to care about.
