Narrative To Books A Conspiracy of Kings (The Queen's Thief #4)
Sophos, under the guidance of yet another tutor, practices his swordplay and strategizes escape scenarios should his father's villa come under attack. How would he save his mother? His sisters? Himself? Could he reach the horses in time? Where would he go? But nothing prepares him for the day armed men, silent as thieves, swarm the villa courtyard ready to kill, to capture, to kidnap. Sophos, the heir to the throne of Sounis, disappears without a trace. In Attolia, Eugenides, the new and unlikely king, has never stopped wondering what happened to Sophos. Nor has the Queen of Eddis. They send spies. They pay informants. They appeal to the gods. But as time goes by, it becomes less and less certain that they will ever see their friend alive again. Across the small peninsula battles are fought, bribes are offered, and conspiracies are set in motion. Darkening the horizon, the Mede Empire threatens, always, from across the sea. And Sophos, anonymous and alone, bides his time. Sophos, drawing on his memories of Gen, Pol, the Magus and Eddis, sets out on an adventure that will change all of their lives forever.Particularize Regarding Books A Conspiracy of Kings (The Queen's Thief #4)

★ true rating: 3.5 stars ★I love Sophos the precious cinnamon roll, but I just wasn't as invested in this storyline. It really tied everything together for the upcoming war that this series has been building up to, however, there wasn't enough Gen. I'm also still not 100% sold on the romance between Sophos and the Queen of Eddis? -I honestly always though Sophos had the hots for Gen _(ツ)_/ The next book is about Kamet, the Mede slave -which I feel will also be more of a set up for the final book
4.5 ⭐ (for that ending.)I love this series so damn much.But, needless to say, that at first, I was very reluctant and fearful to start this book because, well... how would you feel if told that the brilliant hero of one of your favourite series will take a back seat, so that others may step in? Because the fact is, Eugenides (Gen) MAKES this series. Of course, along with its brilliant writing. Every book with him in it is like an adventure you never want to end (Im STILL melancholic from
God, I love this series.I think this is the weakest (so far, I still haven't read book 5), but that might also be because it's contrasted with what is, in my opinion, the strongest book in the series (A Conspiracy of Kings. This is told as from a new perspective, which once again reinvigorates the series. Whalen Turner is such a master at expanding her world without losing control of it, as is often the case with fantasy books. Honestly, I don't know what can be said about this series that
This 4th book in Megan Whalen Turner's Queen's Thief series was not quite as good as the excellent third instalment of the series but it was still an enjoyable and worthwhile read in its own right. Like the rest of the books in this series this was an intelligent YA fantasy with a heavy focus on characters and intrigue. I liked the fact that this book told the story of Sophos, the heir of Sounis, who went missing in the third book in the series. I always liked the character so was delighted we
This novel does not focus on Eugenides. This novel does not focus on Eugenides. This novel does not focus on Eugenides. Just so we're clear. I had to beat myself over the head with this going in, so as to set my expectations at a realistic level. For the most part I think I succeeded. I had some trouble getting into A Conspiracy of Kings. The story, initially, is a simplistic and straightforward recounting of events as they happen to our main character, Sophos. Event A. Event B. Event C. Drama
The King of Attolia is still my favorite of the series, but this book is perfection.
