Once he has provided intel to the advisors, and comforted the queen that her time will come, Kamet gets to leave the capital for the town of Roa, to work as a scribe with a new sense of purpose as a free man… and to be with his new best friend Costis (!) after their incredible adventure. The group travels east into Eddis and then Attolia. The magus eventually reveal that he is searching for Hamiathes's Gift, which he hopes to use to convince the queen of Eddis to marry the king of Sounis. He believes that the Gift is hidden in a secret, nearly inaccessible temple hidden by the Aracthus river. Gen spends three nights searching the temple, and eventually realizes that there is a hidden room behind a wall of Hephestial glass. In the hidden room, the Old Gods appear before Gen, and he takes the Gift from the Great Goddess Hephestia. As Costis watches Eugenides in his public and private moments, he witnesses the king of Attolia incredibly survive an assassination attempt; counsel his wife not to execute the few men she still trusts for perceived betrayals or failures to protect her; ruin the house of Baron Erondites by sentencing his son Sejanus for sabotage and exiling Dite to protect him, in a mere 98 days; and reveal the greatest secret of all, that he and his wife actually do love one another. In that love, Eugenides spares both Teleus, captain of the Guard, and Relius, Attolia’s spymaster; while both expect their queen to be characteristically merciless, Eugenides knows that if she keeps giving away pieces of her heart out of the obligation to be a cruel ruler, eventually she will have no heart, and the entire nation will suffer. Eugenides dangling off the edge of Attolia’s palace in The King of Attolia, because his god isn’t ready for him to die yet. Still gives me shivers to think about. It’s more likely that the Thief film would establish a particular style, and then the director (if the same one stays on, or if a new one joins up for a sequel) would apply that style to each new voice. Not in an identical way—can you imagine Attolia freely narrating in a voiceover—but repeating whatever visual or aural device would signify when a moment seems to go one way… and then the way it actually went. Here’s hoping that we don’t lose the various viewpoints into the world of the Little Peninsula, and the resulting dramatic irony.

Should they greenlight The Queen of Attolia, they won’t be able to pull any punches, as it were, with that book’s hand-cutting scene. What will require even more nuance and sensitivity is Gen’s slow recovery and depression stemming from that traumatic event. And we haven’t even gotten to how to depict the thorny, complex, sexy-without-being-explicit power dynamics between Attolia and Gen in that book and others.You’re Probably Wondering How I Got Here…”: We meet Gen in the king of Sounis’s prison, having stolen the king’s seal and bragged about it all over town before being caught and sentenced. He’s finally taken before the magus and the king of Sounis after weeks of languishing, and they tell Gen that he can earn his freedom with one job: Steal an item for the king of Sounis. They won’t tell him what it is or where they’re going, but that shouldn’t matter, because can’t Gen steal anything? Lisa Kröger and Melanie R.
