The first time you read The Thief: A penniless thief is let out of prison in order to be forced on a road trip and he really just wants to go home.
The second time you read The Thief: In the most ingenious move of political intrigue of the millennium, a penniless thief is let out of prison in order to be forced on a road trip and he really just wants to go home.
Just finished the first book in the Queen’s Thief series and absolutely loved it!!
And so Eugenides joins my growing list of fictional thieves I love

Here’s a couple more sketches I made while impatiently waiting for The queen of Attolia to arrive.
Also I wanted to thank everyone who liked and shared my previous Eugenides drawings, I never had so many people saying so many nice things about a drawing, it really made my day :)

one thing that i LOVE about the queen’s thief series is that MWT really took the time to make sure that we all understand that the protagonist is a weird, whiny little shit. like, she could have said “oh gen was just PRETENDING to be whiny and insufferable in The Thief, he’s actually cool and suave!!”
but no. she establishes that he’s a genius who’s been running a con the whole time, and ALSO he’s whiny and insufferable.
Look! Isn’t it lovely? That’s the cover for the new UK edition, published by Hodder & Stoughton.

I have a confession to make. The first time I read The Queen of Attolia, I didn’t know what a philanderer was, but I recognized the first part of the word ‘philan’ from the word ‘philanthropy’ so when Therespides catches Eddis sneaking to Gen’s library, I wasn’t sure what the scandalous part was. I just thought he’d assume Eddis was being charitable or something.
You’re adorable.
To be fair, you’re actually not too far off. The literal Greek is…
Philanderer- a man who loves.
Philanthropist- someone who loves man(kind).
The root “philo” means to love, and is found in many words. Fun fact, the roots for philosophy are philo and sophos. So, you’re literally saying, love of wisdom or I ❤️ Sophos.
Lol, thanks for the clarification! Shows how much Greek I know… I didn’t even realize Sophos means wisdom! XD I suppose Philologos means “love of logic” or something like that?
Actually, yes. The -logos root means reason. Someone on Sounis, who actually studied Greek (unlike me), told me that Philonikes means love of victory. Who knew there was so much love in this series?
Gen, upon entering the maze and seeing the room from his dream: If I had been a religious person, I might have stopped to pray in earnest, but it didn’t occur to me.
A few minutes later: “Gods,” I said aloud, “oh gods,” and turned back to the door behind me as the water washed my shoe out from beneath it and it began to swing closed.
Gen:doesn’t pray and mean it
Eugenides:We’ll see about that
something something no naos or pronaos or treasure room filled with gifts from the altar, but instead a corridor filled with priceless antiquities and ancient bones gathered from all those who tried and failed
“I will have you without armour, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all.”
I am 100% not okay.
