I did not listen to these in order, but started with The Queen of Attolia, went on to The King of Attolia and A Conspiracy of Kings before going back to the beginning with The Thief and then finishing up with Thick as Thieves. Listening to the books made me regularly sigh in contentment for, among other things, Turner’s plotting is remarkable.
Narrator Steve West was outstanding, managing to inhabit the different characters beautifully.
While I have reread the books numerous times I had never listened to them and I must say doing so was a treat. Now, in preparation for the May 2019 publication of The Return of the Thief, the final of the series, I have just finished listening to the first five. I was hooked and, since then, have read and reread this title and the following four in The Queen’s Thief series: The Queen of Attolia, The King of Attolia, A Conspiracy of Kings, and Thick as Thieves. I first encountered Megan Whalen Turner‘s remarkable Eugenides in her 1997 Newbery Honor The Thief.
