About this listen

Discover and rediscover the world of the Queen's Thief, from the acclaimed series launch The Thief to the thrilling, 20-years-in-the-making conclusion, The Return of the Thief.

New York Times best-selling author Megan Whalen Turner's entrancing and award-winning Queen's Thief novels bring to life the world of the epics and feature one of the most charismatic and incorrigible characters of fiction, Eugenides the thief. Megan Whalen Turner's Queen's Thief novels are rich with political machinations and intrigue, battles lost and won, dangerous journeys, divine intervention, power, passion, revenge, and deception. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Marie Lu, Patrick Rothfuss, and George R. R. Martin.

The brilliant thief Eugenides has visited the Queen of Attolia's palace one too many times, leaving small tokens and then departing unseen. When his final excursion does not go as planned, he is captured by the ruthless queen. The Queen's Thief novels have been praised by writers, critics, reviewers, and fans and have been honored with glowing reviews, "best of" citations, and numerous awards, including the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, a Newbery Honor, the Andre Norton Award shortlist, and the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award.

Much darker than book one

More complexity and has a darker tone to book one. Nice mix of political intrique and action in the second half of the book, the first half is a slow exploration of the effects of mutilation on Eugenides.

Best plot ever!

Love the political intrigue and the building of a subtle, but beautiful love story. Eugenides is one of my favourite fictional male leads! And Attolia is such an interesting character! I've read this series so many times over already and this was my first time listening to the audiobook. Very well done! This story never gets boring.

Worth a read

Some slow spots but worth the read. The author can pull off a twist like no other and that’s the definite pay off for sticking out the slow periods.
