The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner
4.0

Attolia is terrifying.

Eugenides' luck and Gods have finally abandoned him, he is finally captured by Attolia. A cruel but befitting punishment sees him returned to Eddis, minus his hand, the traditional punishment for thieves. It's an action that will spin off a war between Eddis, Attolia and Sounis. And also break our hearts for Gen.

There's not enough of the laughing, mischevious Gen in this or the previous novels to get a true sense of how much this impacts him, but oh so heartbreaking. The story between Gen and Attolia is still one of my favourites ever.
