I am sorry to make you guys wait, but I figure you’re all used to that by now. What I am really sorry about is having told you something that turned out to be wrong. Ugh. I promise not to do that again. It’s all not telling from here on out. I’m not even telling you the exact date because I’m not sure what the exact date will be. My apologies.
The river knows its time. :) Please, take all the time you need, Megan!

Gen, muffled by the dirt: i’m having me time
The weird thing is I've actually lived this incorrect quote. A guy at work said this to me, only he had a giant bag of cheetos. 😂
Kamet in Miniature (specifically Levni) inspired style.
Greek Irene
Hellenistic Gen
Byzantine Costis
Ehh! Kamet is my fav.
Random question for Queen’s Thief fans (which I’m sure I could find the answer to by googling, but I’m feeling lazy): Which editions have the bonus short stories in them? I seem to remember it’s a paperback, but since I think some of them might have had multiple paperback editions I want to be sure. (I’m thinking of adding them to the “things my family can get me for Christmas if they’re not sure what else to get” list, but I want to make sure I request the right ones!
KoA 2007 paperback - Eddis
CoK 2011 paperback - Destruction
QoA 2017 paperback - Knife Dance
KoA 2017 paperback - Wineshop

Does anyone else notice how Megan Whalen Turner seems to always bring Pol up in each of the books? Just a small name drop, but he’s there. She’s not letting us forget about him. And I have to wonder why…
Because Pol is precious, that’s why.
Are you implying that someone has forgotten about Pol? Tell me who this person is!
Hi everyone. I'm in a graduate class at the University of Maryland studying online communities. For a final project I want to study you. Please take my survey! It's short, only 18 questions, all of which are optional, so if there's something you don't feel like answering just skip it. Your…
Are you a Queen’s Thief fan? Of course you are! Take this survey and help a fan/grad student out.
i’m weak
Omg! I was just thinking someone should do this the other day.
I do not understand this. Why am I sitting in a park not talking to people?
It's the Change My Mind meme, Megan. People photoshop the sign to say something funny. Usually, something that's obviously wrong or you know is impossible to change their mind about. It's the latter in your case. 😁
I'm on Tumblr explaining memes to MWT. How did I get here...?
Hi Queen’s Thief fandom, I need your help!
I got my brother hooked on the series years ago. He’s the current DM for his friends’ D&D group, and wants to run a campaign loosely based on The Thief.
Obviously, he can reread the book for inspiration, but are there any blogs/sites that organize some of the world-building information for reference?
Many thanks!!!
Sounis is the original fansite for QT. The Tags are helpful for finding relevent information. Also, try Eugenides Wiki.
Studying Greek, Roman, and Byzantine history might also be helpful for inspiration.
Hope that helps! :)
We're celebrating the first anniversary of Thick as Thieves here on sounis with a re-read! Think of all that waiting we've aleady gotten through!
Come celebrate the first anniversary of TaT with a re-read!

I have a confession to make. The first time I read The Queen of Attolia, I didn’t know what a philanderer was, but I recognized the first part of the word ‘philan’ from the word ‘philanthropy’ so when Therespides catches Eddis sneaking to Gen’s library, I wasn’t sure what the scandalous part was. I just thought he’d assume Eddis was being charitable or something.
You’re adorable. 😂
To be fair, you’re actually not too far off. The literal Greek is…
Philanderer- a man who loves.
Philanthropist- someone who loves man(kind).
The root “philo” means to love, and is found in many words. Fun fact, the roots for philosophy are philo and sophos. So, you’re literally saying, love of wisdom or I ❤️ Sophos.
Lol, thanks for the clarification! Shows how much Greek I know… I didn’t even realize Sophos means wisdom! XD I suppose Philologos means “love of logic” or something like that?
Actually, yes. The -logos root means reason. Someone on Sounis, who actually studied Greek (unlike me), told me that Philonikes means love of victory. Who knew there was so much love in this series? 😁
Attolia Irene, from Megan Whalen Turner’s The Queen’s Thief series
(I’m applying what I learned last month! This is entirely from my imagination (though I used last month’s Sara Bareilles drawing for anatomy reference of what this pose looks like), and fueled by my never-ending obsession with The Queen’s Thief books. I re-read Thick as Thieves yesterday and I may go back and re-read the rest of the series for the millionth time.
Generally I’m super pleased with this! This is a marked improvement over the last time I drew Attolia, about a year or so ago:
To be fair, I’m also using a more realistic style now, which I wasn’t comfortable with before my month-long face drawing experiment. And while I’m going to pretend that the black-and-white-with-color-accents is a design choice, it was mostly because I don’t know how to shade with colored pencils, so I’m taking baby steps for now.)
You got the one eyebrow lift perfect! I love the shading and the red highlights.
