Commentary In Favor Of 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.

Judge Based On Books A Conspiracy of Kings (The Queen's Thief #4)

This book moves away from Gens point of view even more and gives us a whole book with Sophos. The first time I read it, I really wasnt a fan; Sophos was too often passive, too prepared to just let things slip by and become a slave, for rather nebulous reasons about it being easier. It actually worked better for me this time; I knew that the action was coming, so that probably helped, and I do love the interaction between Sophos and Eugenides. Once more it shows the difficulties for Gen in

Update 3/10/2017 Sadly, after reading YA for almost a decade now, I see that Megan Whalen Turner still remains almost the only author who puts sophisticated political intrigue into her fantasy books for kids. BUT the wait for her next Thief book is almost over!Original reviewI love, love this series and I am now very sad that after reading this 4th book I must wait another 3-5 years for the next one to be published! I guess I will have to ease the pain of separation by re-reading all 4

Ive read five books of this now, so heres a quick roundoff of my points:✔Megan Whalen Turner is so good at planting and payoff it makes me want to cry✔I have never seen an author follow through in such interesting ways✔anyway a romantic pairing that got set up in book ONE just got payed off✔all the scenes work individually but ALSO as callbacks to earlier plot points✔she keeps pulling the rug out from under us with some huge reveal that makes you want to scream✔so many different players✔so much

Initial reaction: I continue to wonder how many actual teens read these books; I tend to think that structure and emotional as well as political subtext are most enjoyable for older readers. That's just an observation, it's in no way a criticism.Okay, I finished--and as always, admire the vivid writing, the wry humor, and how superlative Turner's storytelling abilities are.At one crucial point I had to stop and reread the first three. As always I admired the graceful, witty writing, the vivid

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 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
