This is already one of the best narrative devices, but itâs even better when you consider that Kamet is the one narrating all of this and writing it down and you just know that Costis and Gen are going to read this.

Rereading The Thief is fun for so many reasons (for me personally, itâs the BEST for rereading bc thereâs so many layers you wonât get on initial read) but this time whatâs funniest is how, like, Fantasy Agnostic Gen is. He does a lot of things out of habit or because it helps him get away with shit - clear example in him putting his cousinâs earrings on an altar, because then he doesnât have to give them back but she canât get them back EITHER - and heâs very protective of his peopleâs stories culturally but his thoughts on the gods can basically be summed up with a solid âmehâ aksjdj
Which isnât out of the ordinary for fantasy - Iâd say itâs a pretty tried and true thing, for a character to start believing in Magic and Gods only after getting smacked in the face with their existence. Except Eugenides doesnât have some great spiritual awakening because of a miracle, or because he did something heinous. Belief isnât something done to him, or an idea that pulls him along for the ride, itâs a step forward that he takes with his eyes wide open. He makes the decision to help his Queen by taking the Gift, he makes the decision to true again and again until he finds it, he makes the decision to See the gods and Know it is them.
And it underscores the idea of choice in the series - Eugenides is a pawn of the gods not because he has no free will, but because heâs willing to alter his thinking when faced with new information and MAKE A CHOICE and live with the consequences. He refuses to be passive (just like Helen), so they choose him to do their bidding.
we talk a lot about the QoA/TaT romance parallels, but my g o d right from the off Kamet is supposed to go to the docks at night to board a ship and expects the foreigner (a Thief, no less) to slit his throat and throw him into the river instead? Thatâs...thatâs just the climax of QoA.
Like!!! I just!!! Megan!!! HOW? WHY?
The most powerful advisor to the King of Sounis is the magus. He's not a wizard, heâs a scholar, an aging solider, not a thief. When he needs something stolen, he pulls a young thief from the King's prison to do the job for him.
Gen is a thief and proud of it. When his bragging lands him behind bars he has one chance to win his freedom, journey to a neighboring kingdom with the magus, find a legendary stone called Hamiathesâs Gift, and steal it.
The magus has plans for his King and his country. Gen has plans of his own.

both attolias smiling at costis in one paragraph is my aesthetic
So we all know Gen has just about eight hundred thousand titles, right? Eugenides, Thief of Eddis, King of Attolia, all of that?
I just discovered the best one on my reread of King of Attolia.
His Royal Petulance, Annux of the Little Peninsula, everyone.
(And an obligatory moment of appreciation for Aulus and Boagus because I love them.)
I started my reread of the series later than intended, so Iâm going pretty quickly and not scraping for details, but this one passage in QoA really stuck out to me this time around:
Iâm sure this has been pointed out already, but Eugenidesâs display of frustration seems quite similar indeed to someone elseâs:
It says so much that even before theyâve âofficiallyâ fallen in love, theyâve experienced parallel feelings and reactions to them. Gen and Irene just get each other. And the narrative allows them to be hurt, and frustrated, and to react in this way without ever invalidating their reactionsâand thatâs so important, especially when the roles and titles they take on wouldnât allow for anything less than composure in the public sphere.
Bet Gen was still surprised by Ireneâs throwing arm on their wedding night, though.
