Narrative Concering Books The King of Attolia (The Queen's Thief #3)

By scheming and theft, the Thief of Eddis has become King of Attolia. Eugenides wanted the queen, not the crown, but he finds himself trapped in a web of his own making.

Then he drags a naive young guard into the center of the political maelstrom. Poor Costis knows he is the victim of the king's caprice, but his contempt for Eugenides slowly turns to grudging respect. Though struggling against his fate, the newly crowned king is much more than he appears. Soon the corrupt Attolian court will learn that its subtle and dangerous intrigue is no match for Eugenides.

Judge Based On Books The King of Attolia (The Queen's Thief #3)

"How can you not know why you hit someone?"Costis shook his head."It must have been something I said. Was that it?""I don't know." He knew. [...]"Then why?" The king badgered plaintively. "Tell me, Costis, why?""Because you didn't look like a king," he said. [...]"You have no idea how to look like a king, much less be one. [...] you sit on the throne like...like a printer's apprentice in a wine shop."And then later..."The king, looking down at the bedcover, ran his hands across the embroidered

I think, on re-reading, that this is my favorite of The Queen's Thief series, probably because it's the payoff from The Queen of Attolia. Told primarily from the viewpoint of Costis, a young officer in the Queen of Attolia's guard, it's a masterful use of the unreliable narrator to tell two stories at once--but only if you've read the other books first. I'm sure it would still be enjoyable read on its own, but...wow, so much would be missing. So if you haven't read the others, please do.Costis

It's weird how I find the most difficult books to review are those that I knew were going to be amazing... and yep, this was amazing! I mean, what do you say that actually means anything? I could ramble on about fantastic writing, brilliant characters, excellent plot, this would all be true but the words are so empty and don't convey what I love about this series.They don't say how this intricate fantasy world pulls you in with it's politics, it's culture and it's superstitions. It's like the

I'm not a mystery reader, and I've never fully appreciated whodunits, so by rights I should have been irritated with the Attolia books rather than enthralled by them. Unguessable twists and turns are the hallmark of the series: the reader can't possible figure out exactly what is going on because we don't have the information necessary, but we're haunted by the certainty that something more is going on than what the other, non-trickster characters are seeing. This was a sick-day reread for me,

Buddy read with my girls at Buddies, Books, & Baubles.I kept putting off starting this one. I think it was because I just couldn't warm to Attolia, at all, so I wasn't sure I'd enjoy this book. I'm so happy that I was dead WRONG!I was hooked my the second chapter & started binge reading until 3 in the morning. I couldn't figure Gen's motives for most of the book. I only knew he wanted to be underestimated. I didn't understand what he was doing with Costis beyond securing the Captain of

I loved this book, as I did the previous one, but then, I was kinda expecting to anyway, what with Turner's turn of phrase, heh. This is a short review, because there is no more to gush about than there already was in the previous books. Gen was smart and outwitted everyone, woo! As if we didn't see that coming. But it was still fun to watch him trip up the members of the Attolian court. The love between the queen and the king was a lot more tender in this story, although I was a little

2.5 STARSWhat the hell happened here? This was supposed to become one of my favourite series, and then I read this travesty?? Eating Shredded Wheat is a more exciting experience than reading this, a reality which is even more shocking considering how excited I was to start this book. I absolutely loved The Queen of Attolia, but unfortunately this instalment had none of its predecessors charm. It wasnt even that similar to the first of the series which at least merited a more solid three stars.
