Queen’s Thief Appreciation, Day 2: The Queen of Attolia – the books/characters as things my friends and I have said
One of the major twists for me was the complete transformation of my opinion of Attolia Irene. I started rooting for her ever since we got her background story, and by the time “Diplomacy, in my own name” rolled around, I was fully infatuated.
Queen’s Thief Appreciation, Day 3: The King of Attolia – books/characters as things my friends and I have said
This book… just has to be my favorite one. The way Eugenides is revealed again and again draws me back to it again and again. Plus Costis, poor Costis <3

eugenides attolis & jaime lannister
[ID one: a photograph of a black hook prosthetic with gold details on a gold-orange brocade background. There is text at the top of the image reading “He begged, ‘Please, please,’ as if his heart were breaking.” There is text over the hook reading “His right hand disappeared under the blade.” There is text at the bottom reading “He made no sound.”]
[ID two: A dark blood red color.]
[ID three: A golden prosthetic hand resting on a wooden table. There is text at the top reading “He was a Lannister of Casterly Rock, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard; no sellsword would make him scream.” There is text on the hand reading “It came shivering down, almost too fast to see.” There is text at the bottom of the image reading “And Jaime screamed.”]
Queen’s Thief Appreciation, Day 4: Conspiracy of Kings – books/characters as things my friends and I have said
The fact that Sophos used force in the end despite being the so-called bunny of the series is simultaneously devastating and funny, especially since we’re used to sneaky sneaky politics and scheming from Gen. (Not that Sophos wasn’t veritably sneaky in his own right.) It was completely unexpected and yet right!
Queen’s Thief Appreciation, Day 1: The Thief – in my saga of QT books/characters as things my friends and I have said.
I wanted to participate in qtappreciationweek this year, but didn’t have the time to create any serious, meaningful pieces that would properly honor and embody my all-encompassing love for these books, so I’ve come up with the happy medium of… memery.
I’ve come to the conclusion that my silly contribution to this fun celebration isn’t totally out of place, because it does encapsulate one of the reasons I was first drawn into the series: the humor. My gods, the humor. From the moment Gen splayed his body by the side of the road, content to endure his new life as a landmark, I was enraptured. I adore Gen’s unbridled, raw snark in The Thief.
