Instead of being narrated from Eugenide’s perspective, or from a third-person view point, it’s told by a new character who we’ve never met…a soldier named Costis. I was initially hesitant when I read this book the first time.

Viewing Eugenides from Costis’s viewpoint, you get to know him all over again in a whole new way. Surrounded by a palace and kingdom of people who hate him, and mock him for his weakness he is forced to result to…unorthodox methods to gain their respect and root out his opponents. Now he has stolen Attolia, married the Queen and managed to survive the whole ordeal, but lost his hand and his liberty in the process.

SummaryĮugenides has gotten himself into a mess that he can’t get out of. He became king because he wanted to marry you.”įast-paced, witty, intriguing, rife with political conflict, the third book in The Queen’s Thief series pushes its characters to new limits.
