Since I can’t help myself-

The Queens Thief books as John Mulaney quotes:

The thief

The Queen of Attolia

The King of Attolia

A Conspiracy of Kings

Thick as Thieves

Return of the Thief

The thing about Queen's Thief is that the reveals that come with Gen's trickster type, don't just reveal that he is smarter or more skilled than the people around him (or the readers) thought, but also that he is more good than they originally thought. Gen's goodness is a part of the twist.

This is probably most prominent in King of Attolia where his surprising mercy is a huge part of the plot (and his genuine love and friendship). But it happens over and over again.

In The Thief we are led to believe that he is motivated primarily by self-interest and we are surprised by the depths of his loyalty, the generous affection that comes out for the Magus, and by the fact that he is actually primarily motivated by duty and love for his queen/favorite cousin/reigning bestie.

In Queen of Attolia the twist is that his actions which looked like generalized mischief and political power plays actually all spring from love, and that love arose initially from empathy with a girl's loneliness.

Or when he becomes king, and then it's revealed that yes he got what he wanted but actually this is an act of self sacrifice (for the sake of Irene and Hellen and Eddis).

And on and on.

The pettiness and the pride and the mischief for its own sake are all still there, but they coexist with this deep undercurrent of loyalty and duty and love and mercy and kindness. And when push comes to shove that undercurrent will always win out and its that which makes the twists so triumphant and satisfying.

Don’t let the lines fool you, he’s actually shorter than her.

As @curly-cottage-girl and @lilaccatholic requested, here’s Irene and Eugenides in the Barbie meme

#my headcanon is that for their honeymoon Gen asked Attolia if they could visit the prisons #it was his idea to take the photos as if they were prisonsers #he thinks it’s funny #she doesn’t (but secretly agrees it’s funny) #the guards think it’s so insufferable of him #queen’s thief #attolia irene #eugenides #attolis eugenides #my art

Aging eugenides… I tried so many variations for book 3 but they all looked too kingly. I decided to just keep his book 2 look and incorporate the haircut and a little scruff, because what teenage boy doesn’t try to show off whatever beard he has?

"Are you insane?" "No more than usual, I think." "Insane to think of loving me," said Attolia, and the emotions that colored her usually emotionless voice were bitterness and self-mockery.

breezed through the first three books in the queen's thief series last week and i'm losing my entire mind over these two

i am not thinking about productive things. instead, I am slowly rotating a long line of lame, sad little fictional guys like a personal feast of rotisserie chickens in a really big microwave.

Gen's not dead in Conspiracy of Kings but he doesn't let that stop him from haunting the narrative.
