It would’ve been 4 stars but it makes noooo sense to me that he would be in love with her based on one incident when they were kids and several subsequent spying incidents. No sense at all.

Wow. It took me a long ass time to dive into book 2 and I pray that I wont make that mistake when deciding on diving into the next one.
The Queen of Attolia was so freaking good. I don't know what it is about this series but the audiobooks are so freaking entertaining. I just fall into the world and relax. I enjoy everything and anything that is happening.
When it comes to loving a series, it's all about the characters. In this, you will meet Eugenides, aka Gen. He was caught on one of the night raids and he might end up losing his head. Irene, the Queen or Her Majesty, was an intriguing character because of her being so freaking paranoid about everything. Poor girl - so I could see why she would want to chop off my poor Gen's head AND I can totally be thankful that it didn't happen.
Throughout the book, Gen's Queen (and cousin) wants revenge for him. So at this point I was expecting a GoT battle but ya know - more epic. War came.. and it was good. I enjoyed it but I wanted more. Besides all of that, a lot happens in this book which kind of made my head hurt keeping track of everything.
Pretty sure someone was kidnapped, another takes drugs, and there's a "relationship" being talked about. It's kind of like an episode of Riverdale or something. I was in it for the long haul guys and ate it allllll up.
Overall, I love Gen. Absolutely love this character because he just keeps getting better and better with each page. I need book three like I need a glass of water. Hopefully I can dive into it next month, if not before then.

Getting closer in the series to a 4 star review. The first book in the series was a slow trudge through necessary backstory, and this feels like the real first book. While I enjoyed the war tactics and there was some withheld information that invokes mystery, there’s still so much foreshadowing that the element of surprise is lost. And I think the author intended to have surprises, based on some of the obvious statements made later.
Some language, not just swearing by the gods, and not sure how I feel about the word “suburb” in this world.

This book took a hard turn to the darker side of things, but despite that I really enjoyed it. Once again, well executed twists and turns and a very real fantasy world.

3.75 stars. Rereading the physical edition might make it more enjoyable but the audiobook did not help the third-person perspective at all.
4.8 stars
this took the series to whole new level, amazing.

The Thief series is very complex, and I believe many young adult readers will lose much of what is written. My first reaction to The Queen of Attolia was dislike even though it is well written.
Because of my initial feelings about The Queen of Attolia, I decided I needed to go back and read it again. Gen losing his hand so brutally definitely colored by point of view. I can see clues...
