A review by katieinca
Thick as Thieves by Megan Whalen Turner
4.0
Man, she really kept us guessing with this one. We were 80% sure (and ended up being right) that we knew who the POV character was from earlier books. Similarly sure about what was probably the biggest twist, . But we were paranoid and waited for other reveals that never came, while another medium sized reveal snuck right past us. But the journey was fun regardless.
Although I will say that this author/world has weird perspectives on slavery that I found distracting (the Medes as a country are terrible, and one of the ways we know that is how their empire relies on slavery and how they treat their slaves, and our POV character finds all that strange. Meanwhile, the countries our heroes are from also have horribly treated slaves, etc.) .
