I...

I have decided to re-read the entire series of The Queen's Thief and I was not emotionally ready.

In the last 3 days while at work I have read The Thief, Destruction, and just finished The Queen of Attolia.

I W A S N O T R E A D Y

I thought I remembered the joy and heartbreak and wonder and fear and awe and countless nameless feelings that these books inspire but nope. It feels like I'm half my age again, curled up on a library window ledge meeting these characters in this world for the first time.

Thank you @meganwhalenturner for always filling me with wonder 💕

I love that there's an entire sub genre of pjo fans that read the books that are just clowning on the new viewers.

Like, the TikTok slideshows that are "Stuff I can't wait to be in the show."

And it's, oh Annabeth is the lightning thief, Annabeth kills Grover, Percy gets with Luke, Percy discoverers that Gabe was Poseidon the entire time, Percy figures out he has an evil twin named Bercy, Bercy kills Luke, and Sally becomes queen of Olympus.

I inherited this country when I was only a child, Nahuseresh. I have held it. I have fought down rebellious barons. I've fought Sounis to keep the land on this side of the mountains. I have killed men and watched them hang. I've seen them tortured to keep this country safe and mine. How did you think I did this if I was a fool with cow eyes for any handsome man with gold in his purse?

― Megan Whalen Turner, The Queen of Attolia

Finally finished this piece! It's good to be back on this website:)

Won’t name names but I read kind of a disappointing political fantasy book and it has me pining for the BEST political fantasy books, Megan Whalen Turner’s Queen’s Thief series, naturally

Oh, you married the older sister (?) of the friend/crush you connected with on a dangerous adventure as a teenager? She has some gender stuff going on and was pretty much the only person who could get through to him when he was extremely ill after one of the most traumatic experiences of his life? On a scale of Jerott Blyth to Sounis Sophos, how well did it go?

This is not exactly what was requested, but te prompt got me wondering what kind of person Dite would fall in love with after mending his broken heart, and this is all I could think of...

This was drawn as a treat for @allcanonisrelative for the @hamiathesgiftexchange!

The Untamed meets QT: Thoughts. Because I have them. Anyways:

I get the feeling that Eugenides and Wei Wuxian would not get along, because neither of them would want to share the spotlight. Their personalities are just too similar to be compatible. If they do decide to work together though... well, gods have mercy on whoever they decide to torment (probably Costis. Poor Costis)

If Attolia Irene and Lan Wangji were ever to speak to each other I think they could commiserate over having a nonsensical little guy for a soul mate. However. Realistically. I don't think they'd ever talk to each other, they'd just sit in silence instead. Companionable silence maybe, but still. Silence.

For some reason I feel like Wen Ning would be really popular and well-liked in the QT world. Like. Idk. I feel like the Eddisians especially would think he's dope as hell, despite the fact he's dead.

Similarly, I think Sophos would be really popular and well-liked in the Untamed world. He has no unhinged plots or schemes. He solves all his problems by duel-wielding weapons. Nie Mingjue in particular would love that

Lan Qiren and the Magus should have like, a little support group for people who have incorrigible and annoying students/road trip companions. They could get together and talk about their suffering and have tea or something.

Jiang Cheng and Eddis Helen should have a support group also. For having family members who are Like That.

Do you have a favorite scene in the queen’s thief books?

Hey! Hm, the books have so many great scenes! I don't believe I can pick just one! However, I will limit myself to a select few.

At the end of QoA when Gen finds out it was Moira who told Attolia where to find him and goes to the conservatory to complain pray. That, to me, was a very personal and intimate scene. Someone else has pointed out before that the Queen's Thief series serves as a great example of what it means to have real faith in God. Of course it doesn't center around Christianity, but I um... I felt represented in Eugenides' struggle of knowing his God/the Gods, knowing that He/they will answer your prayer if you seek Him because you are favored by Him... yet experiencing real, painful setbacks in life and discovering that they're all supposed to be part of some greater, all-foreseeing "plan" or whatever. It doesn't matter in the moment when it hurts. There's real loss. There's real hurt. And I feel relief in the depiction of Eugenides who doesn't hesitate to take his very real pain, his confusion, his legitimate anger in front of an altar and bring an offering and lay down and be stubborn enough not to leave until he receives an answer that he can live with. That, my friend, is raw faith. The despair is real, the grief is real, but the God is also real. As real as Eugenides' right hand. As clear as day. And God's answers are as real as the glass that shattered in Attolia's winter garden. That's what faith is, and that's what it looks like. It's as real and as honest as it gets.

2. When Sophos decides to leave the slave barracks, and no one stops him. That was quite a power move back there.

3. When Gen is finally forced to face off against Costis...Costis gets his satisfaction... and Gen steps into being the King!!

4. Costis mending that one Lady's tin pot and then him & Kamet crossing over the Taymets. That was so wonderfully refreshing.

5. The game of catch that the whole court played with Eugenides in ROTT.

6. The entire battle against the Medes, pretty much, from the time Gen rode into battle until they danced out their victory on the roof.

Thank you for this. It was a nice ask.

A professional gymnast AU of the Queen's Thief where Gen competes in the Paralympics (for the ask game)!

wrote these in collaboration with @love-an-ood who knows a lot more about gymnastics than me!

There’s no gymnastics in the Paralympics as far as we could find so the background here is that Gen, after his injury, didn’t want to do any other jobs so he just kept competing at a national level as much as possible until they added Paralympics. He switches to trampoline after he loses his hand.

Gen is afraid of horses and the pommel horse 

Helen is also a gymnast — she’s like that one woman who only does vault but keeps doing it till her 40s. Since the Paralympics are in the same city as the Olympics, just a few weeks later, Gen just moves all his training to the Olympic city so he can see Helen compete while he’s still training, and she stays behind to watch him 

At some point in the weeks post-Helen competing and pre-Gen competing, Gen sneaks out from training and he and Helen go get burgers and people-watch because they never get to see enough of the competition cities 

Gen always has his nails painted bright yellow, even though he loses points, because he’s so much better than everyone else that he wins anyway. 

send me more for the AU ask game here!

#this was fun thanks friend!! #anyone — feel free send me more QT or tbh any fandom I've written for #also this AU is up for grabs please write it no need to ask #queen's thief #my writing

Can you tell me about The Queen's Thief at middle? (at length might be too much for my currently achievable level of attention 😅)

WELL, good news, I did something very stupid yesterday and mid-length is probably the most I can type right now 😂

So, my caveats I always supply before starting my rec:

The first book in the series is middle grade fiction. It’s good middle grade fiction with a lot of the same skillful execution that makes me feral for the series, but there is a maturity jump from book one to book two, and I recommend you read at least a little into book two before deciding if the series is for you. AFTER book one.

GO IN BLIND. I cannot stress enough how good it is to go in blind. No art. No reviews. Just buckle in and see where you end up. The series is good even when you know what is coming--and that’s a whole point later on--but that first exquisite moment where all the threads pull together? Experience it, you’ll thank me

Now, to keep this short I shall bullet point. Or try to. Parts of this will require a lot of “Trust me, it’s worth it” because, well, see above re: spoilers.

The series is set in a historical pseudo-Mediterranean locale, which is honestly fantastic. Really sort of blends the worlds of Greek myths and Tolkien bucolic fantasy that was many fantasy fans gateway drugs, while also feel entirely distinct. I know fantasy has spread out its influence to cultures beyond western Europe nowadays, but the first Queen’s Thief book was published in 1996 so it was definitely early to adopt that. 

The actual fantasy element is handled in such a fun way? To say too much means spoilers, but it is a story about people first and foremost, and the fantasy elements just give the plot a push from time to time. 

And oh god, the people. THE PEOPLE. I love these characters. I named my cat after one of them. My youngest child has decided that Gen is his favourite character of all time and dressed up as him for a school event. But the characters in this series are just… they’re wonderful. They are complex, with their own motivations and histories and views. My kid went from hating to loving a character in the second book in a single chapter because we got to see who they were and how they came to be that person. There are disabled characters and queer characters, but never in a way that feels checkmarky. They are funny and harsh and kind and just… human, in a way that brings me so much joy.

And not only are the characters great alone, their relationships? Again, spoilers, but this series has so many good relationships. Romantic and platonic and antagonistic. Family of choice to the EXTREME. Unlikely friendships. There is a moment in a later book where two characters hold hands and I teared up. 

THE. WRITING. I could go on and on and fucking ON about the writing, whole post in itself. But it makes me feral. The books’ use of perspective are art, absolutely exquisite. Each book does something unique with the narrative point of view, and does it deliberately. The first person perspective is telling us a story, and tells us what he wants us to know. The historical record makes the characters the most human by letting us see behind the Great Events. It’s just one of my favourite examples of POV I’ve ever read.

The narrative never lies to us, but trusts the reader to draw connections. This is one of those “Makes more sense with spoilers” moments, but the writing is incredibly good at telling us everything we need to know exactly when we need to know it, and not before. And it results in this fantastic joy when it all pulls together--it’s not really plot twists, because we have been told (almost) everything, but you get an incredible payoff.

The books get better with every reread. I was recently working through the second book with my kid, who devoured The Thief two years ago (and probably a dozen times since) but wanted to be a bit older before tackling the rest of the series, and I was still catching details that I had missed or forgotten from previous reading. 

The contents of the stories are just… there’s war and grief and rage, politic machinations, trauma, betrayal. And the narrative doesn’t handwave those things, but it doesn’t wallow in delight in them either. It’s just a series that takes you by the hand and says “Bad things happen, and we will live with those things forever, but it doesn’t have to define you. What’s important is the connections we make with other people, who will catch you when you fall.” Reading the series leaves me with that same hopefulness that drew me to Discworld? I may not be explaining it well.

The actual writing style, on top of being masterful, is so much fun. It’s sparse, but in a way that makes every word feel important. It’s delightfully funny, heartbreaking, evocative. Just a joy to sink into. 

And I just realised this is definitely getting long, so I’ll stop for now. But I highly, highly, highly recommend the series. And hey, if this made anyone want to vote for The Queen’s Thief, the poll is here!

(Also, if you do read it and like the series, the author is on tumblr and is an interesting person to follow. Just don’t do it before reading, because occasional spoilers)

#Attolia #asks #the queens thief #megan whalen turner #the QT fandom is also awesome? #smart and insightful and there are so many good meta posts that say the above in much better ways #I think this is the series that has made me scream while reading the most because there are Moments in every single book
