Attolias! I've never managed to pin down designs for Queen's Thief characters, and I'm not sure I've got it yet but Momma didn't raise a quitter

So I started reading the Queen's Thief series and uh

#tqt #the queen's thief #the thief #the queen of attolia #megan whalen turner #why is there such a sudden and complete shift ;_; #i totally went into this book like “so ready for more fun adventures with this whimsical character” #and was immediately swamped with BAM trauma trauma angst trauma

"Irene---"

"Don't call me that."

"You were the princess Irene the first time we met."

"It means 'peace,'" Attolia said. "What name could be more inappropriate?"

"That I be named Helen?" Eddis suggested.

The hard lines in Attolia's face eased, and she smiled. Eddis was a far cry from the woman whose beauty has started a war.

-The Queen of Attolia, Megan Whalen Turner

Revisiting the Iliad made me think of this exchange with the most important Helen of my heart. One thing I love about the Queen's Thief is how MWT threaded in these sparing links to existing mythology, so that even though all the pantheons and legends are made up, the story is placed in a greater context. It makes the worldbuilding feel so huge and real even while the struggles are intimate and contained.

[grandtyphoonpoetry]

He's a thief. He's a prince. He speaks to the Gods. He's barely more than a child. He's killed a man. He misses his cousin. He's a manipulator. He stole a stone of immortality from the people who were trying to steal it. He didn't die all the way. He never wanted to fight. He just wants to lay in his library and read. He had his hand cut off. He's a politician. He's a drunk. He's never more trouble than he is worth. He loves her and he's telling the truth. He's a menace. He's a king. He can steal anything. He's a liar. He's conquered two countries. He's terrifying. He's shorter than all his friends. He's a father. He's always underestimated.

Well, I was going to wait to buy the beautiful British versions of these books, but they all aren’t going to be out until late 2024, and Book Outlet had five of them for $4 or less so here we are

"Are you insane?" "No more than usual, I think." "Insane to think of loving me," said Attolia, and the emotions that colored her usually emotionless voice were bitterness and self-mockery.

breezed through the first three books in the queen's thief series last week and i'm losing my entire mind over these two

#they're both so tortuous dfgfd i'm obsessed w them #attolia irene #eugenides #attolis eugenides #the queen's thief #the queen of attolia #the king of attolia

[worldsentwined]

I saw that @meganwhalenturner enjoyed the blackout poetry someone made of another author's work, so naturally I had to try my hand at a passage from one of her books.

(thanks to the discord server for helping me choose a passage, this is what I get for complaining that it's hard to chop up beautiful prose).
