Description

Discover and rediscover the world of the Queen's Thief, from the acclaimed series launch The Thief to the thrilling, 20-years-in-the-making conclusion, The Return of the Thief.

New York Times best-selling author Megan Whalen Turner’s entrancing and award-winning Queen’s Thief novels bring to life the world of the epics. This first book in series introduces one of the most charismatic and incorrigible characters of fiction, Eugenides the thief. The Queen’s Thief novels are rich with political machinations and intrigue, battles lost and won, dangerous journeys, divine intervention, power, passion, revenge, and deception. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Marie Lu, Patrick Rothfuss, and George R. R. Martin.

Eugenides, the queen's thief, can steal anything - or so he says. When his boasting lands him in prison and the king's magus invites him on a quest to steal a legendary object, he's in no position to refuse. The magus thinks he has the right tool for the job, but Gen has plans of his own.

The Queen's Thief novels have been praised by writers, critics, reviewers, and fans, and have been honored with glowing reviews, "best of" citations, and numerous awards, including the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, a Newbery Honor, the Andre Norton Award shortlist, and the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award.

“The Queen’s Thief books awe and inspire me. They have the feel of a secret, discovered history of real but forgotten lands. The plot-craft is peerless, the revelations stunning, and the characters flawed, cunning, heartbreaking, exceptional. Megan Whalen Turner’s books have a permanent spot on my favorites shelf, with space waiting for more books to come.” (Laini Taylor, New York Times best-selling author of the Daughter of Smoke and Bone novels and Strange the Dreamer)

"Unforgettable characters, plot twists that will make your head spin, a world rendered in elegant detail - you will fall in love with every page of these stories. Megan Whalen Turner writes vivid, immersive, heartbreaking fantasy that will leave you desperate to return to Attolia again and again.” (Leigh Bardugo, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom)

Good but needs more

I enjoyed the plot and characters but there was depth lacking, not sure if it was how it was read or written but despite being a decent plot I wasn’t enthralled

Gen...

This was an interesting read, but I felt a little irked at the fact that this is clearly a first-person novel, but we were not given full access to Eugenides' mind. I will probably grow to love the character more as I continue to read the series. Every good story must start somewhere, right?

Fave character? Sophos. What a cutie.

You’ll want to read it twice.

I read other reviews that the book had a slow start, but really it’s just clever build up. The readers voice is pleasant to listen to and I found myself lost in the story. I wanted to read it again immediately because I didn’t believe I missed the foreshadowing for the ending. Brilliant writing!

Great narrator - slow story

I found this story slow and at times hard to follow. The Narration was great.

this was a good book well written and as soon as I finish I had to go back and start it all over again right from the very beginning to try and catch on to the twist I would recommend this book to anyone

Not the simple fantasy tale I was expecting

Slow paced, and in the beginning it seemed to be a simple fantasy tale, although I did like the world building, and the descriptions of the scenery, etc.

I thought Gen was an unispiring whinny protagonist, with occasional quick wits but his voluability at the wrong times was just so irritating, then the hints started that all was not as appears.

At the end I was so taken with the sweeping finish (ok, that was not quite the twist I was expecting) that I instantly bought the next book in the series.

over and over again

I love this book. I have read the paper copy many times. This is my 1st time as an audiobook and it was just as good. I am going to get the rest of the series to listen too.

As far as the book goes... there is a major twist that makes it fun. I like how the characters all fall into their stereotypes but change as the story progresses. It is just a fun book to have on long car rides with the family.

Absolutely amazing!

This book is a great start to the Queens Thief series and I have read it countless times before and loved it. I was apprehensive about listening to it but I think the narrator did a good job even though some of Eugenides sarcasm/humour was missed by listening vs reading.
