Until now, the Queen&#8217;s Thief books have centered around Eugenides, thief of the Queen of Eddis and married to the Queen of Attolia. But loyal readers will remember young Sophos, from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/the-thief-by-megan-whalen-turner\/\">book 1<\/a><\/strong>. And, as Sophos narrates much of <em>A Conspiracy of Kings<\/em>, readers learn that he, like Eugenides, is now a king; his uncle, the King of Sounis, has died, leaving Sophos heir to the throne. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sophos is fleeing for his life when the book opens. Captured, he&#8217;s sold into slavery (although it&#8217;s clear that his captors meant for something a little different to happen to him). In what is a tremendous burst of character maturity, Sophos puts his head down and learns to be a good slave. He gleans much about his people and the way his country actually runs. When he finally escapes, he&#8217;s built up a small network of allies. Sophos reunites with the Magus, and the two begin a harrowing journey to Attolia to seek Eugenides and his queen&#8217;s favor and assistance: the barons are bent on taking over Sounis, but Sophos is determined to be king. Sophos also reunites with his father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wouldn&#8217;t be a Queen&#8217;s Thief book without romance, and readers won&#8217;t be disappointed. Like Eugenides and Irene (the Queen of Attolia), Sophos and his future bride must work around political alliances and responsibilities, but love wins out to the delight of those that know them best. It also wouldn&#8217;t be a Queen&#8217;s Thief book without political maneuvering, international intrigue, and a pagan setting reminiscent of ancient Greece. Eugenides is off stage for much of the book, but his presence is felt, and the ending will assure readers that he pulled more plot strings than was obvious at first glance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Considerations<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Religion<\/strong>: Religion (and a pagan culture with a panoply of gods) is still very much a part of the world in this book, but because Eugenides is off stage, much of this is downplayed (compared to earlier volumes). Still, there&#8217;s a particularly interesting scene near the end where Sophos is learning more about Gen&#8217;s relationship with the gods and how different it is from ordinary mortals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Language<\/strong>: unlike the other Queen&#8217;s Thief books, <em>Thick as Thieves<\/em> is relatively free from language issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom Line:<\/strong> Fans will want to read it!
