Dark Lord of Derkholm

by Diana Wynne Jones

Grade: Good

Have I said that I love Diana Wynne Jones? Her books are ALWAYS interesting, and I don't ever need to love one of the characters.

I did this time, though. My favourite character was the thief, Reville. He's almost a Lewis person.

"He was a young man, think and fair and clever-looking."
"[A] shortish, fair-haired young man, who came sauntering down the stairs with an air."

And he happens to be the richest person in the world, due to the fact that he's Hereditary Head of Thieves Guild.
