10/10 | The only bad thing about this book is that it marks the end of the Queen’s Thief Series and I would have loved to have more of it

Yet another new character, and a very fun one. He doesn't speak, everyone thinks he's incapable of understanding much, and so he gets away with a lot. Meanwhile, everybody's story lines are wrapped up, most of our old faves (at least that have survived to this book) get a good scene or two, and Eugenides continues to... be him. A pretty satisfying wrap up to a 6 book, geographically vast saga. Even for somebody like me who gets really bored when we have to read about troop movements and battles instead of relationships and hijinks.

While I’m so sad this series is finally over, this was a fitting conclusion. In this installment Megan Whalen Turner continues her trend of telling the story of Eugenides from other points of view, and I really enjoyed our narrator for this final chapter. I can’t wait to do a re-read of the entire completed series. ♥️
