At first I thought it was just an adventure story but the later books really do add more depth. It's easy to wish the characters well, they're lovely and smart and compassionate and fairly moral. Some of the interactions between characters had me spellbound. The books are weakest when they don't let you in to preserve a twist that comes later. It's weird to have the main character being the narrator but also leaving out important information about his identity or motives, it made for some boring bits and made it hard to know the characters sometimes. The payoff was great but there was a lot of setup to get through sometimes. Either way I definitely enjoyed the books.

This series got better the further into it I got. Eugenides is really clever and I liked the outsider views on his schemes.
Side note: Costis and Kamet are in love and this is a fact

Ramping up my reread of the series so I can be ready when book five, Thick as Thieves, comes out in May!
