Thick as Thieves by Megan Whalen Turner

adventurous tense

5.0

Kamet, slave to the Memet ambassador whose plans ended so catastrophically in a previous volume, has a bright future ahead of him, albeit as a slave who can get beaten quite savagely at a moment's notice and who will probably be put to death when his master dies, but hey, everybody dies. The idea of running away is ridiculous and absurd to him, but nonetheless, on the run is what he finds himself after the unthinkable happens, in the company of a loyal Attolian soldier who may not be as stupid as he initially appears, and they struggle to survive and escape capture and an unlikely friendship develops, all the while Kamet is keeping a crucial secret to himself as he waits for an opportunity to escape from his rescuer. 

Another wonderful, enagaging and moving adventure in the world of The Thief.
