The Queen's Thief

A handful of years after the war with the Mede, Kamet is asked to become secretary of the archives. I really like how this caps off Kamet's arc, and also his interplay with the other characters is great and in character.

A series of connected missing scenes set throughout The Thief. Or, what Eddis and Attolia were doing while Gen was stealing a seal, getting tossed in prison, and then hiking across the countryside. Exactly what it says on the tin. I enjoyed this look at what was happening offscreen during The Thief.

A tale of calf love, of a lonely thief watching a princess dance alone in the kitchen garden. A lovely scene, shot through with melancholy for both Gen and Irene. <3

The queen chooses differently on her wedding night; Eugenides, as ever, rises to the occasion. A really wonderful portrayal of just why Gen and Irene fit so well together.
