The Queen's Thief series is epic in every sense of the word—and now that the finale is on shelves, you need to read it. Possibly more than o
hi I’m not going to shut up about this because it’s maybe the easiest thing I’ve ever written in my life
More pretty photos of the Monsieur Touissant Louverture (French) edition of The Thief and The Queen of Attolia by @meganwhalenturner, ft. bookmark art from @chimaerakitten
Lucky for @chimaerakitten and me, Shae takes excellent photographs!
I'm waiting for this fall for the fourth book to go on sale so I can eat the shipping costs for both KOA and ACOK at once and then. Then! There shall be more.
divine intervention where my guardian angel just beats the shit outta me
@curly-cottage-girl you'll notice in tagging Costis that I did not specify whether he was the angel or the speaker
Did I ever tell you all about the time my dad was teaching and a student climbed IN the window?
I only got like two responses on this but it’s one of my favorite stories from my dad’s classroom so buckle up.
So my dad taught junior English at a local high school, he taught on the second story of a building that was built back when schools had large windows that opened, and his windows faced the front of the building.
So one day in like April he’s teaching Moby Dick or Gone with the Wind or something with the windows open a crack to allow spring air into the classroom and one of the windows opens further and a kid climbs in through the window.
This kid, who hasn’t been at school since winter break, puts his finger to his lips. crouches for a second under the window, crawls to the classroom door, peaks out the window in the door, opens the door and slips into the hall.
He apparently then dashes down the hall, slips through the door into another junior English class (taught by my dad’s friend), where he again puts his finger to his lips, jogs across the room, climbs out the window (which faced a courtyard on the backside of the front hall) and disappears.
Turns out, the kid had been in a juvenile detention center since Christmas, escaped, and decided no one would look for him in his school. To this day I have no idea what happened after he climbed into the courtyard.
#this kid and the pie kid are my favories
Please tell about the pie kid because this story is hilarious and I want to hear about the pie kid
Ah yes, pie kid. The pie kid is legendary at the school.
So my dad’s school has faculty meetings every Teusday after school, and the teachers would all bring food (because after 7+ hours of school even teachers are hungry then they have to sit in a meeting for at least an hour talking about test scores or whatever).
So this kid, I don’t know what the motivation here was, but he would sneak into the library and take food from the meetings. Usually they just let him because, I mean, he’s not really harming anything. That just made him bolder though. One day he began taking an entire pie from the meetings.
So one day he’s sitting in the hall eating an entire pie because high school, and security took offense at this (because he was in the building after all students were supposed to leave, also he was apparently a trouble maker who security was familiar with) and this is where the story starts getting a little crazy.
Obviously, when security shows up, pie kid runs (carrying the uneaten half of his pie). This becomes a normal Teusday afternoon sight: security chasing pie kid through the halls as he’s eating pie stolen from a faculty meeting. The kid regularly found himself in odd corners of the building, including the roof, the boiler room, the field house, the magnet school behind the high school, etc. hiding from security and eating his pie.
Eventually, security caught up with him and his pie and dragged him to the principal’s office.
Now, the principal at this point is a little.. strict. He runs a tight ship.. or thinks he does.. you know those people who are VERY concerned with their world being EXTREMELY orderly and the world just stares them in the face and refuses? That was this principal’s life. He was trying to make a 2,500 student high school walk in lock step. As shown by the last story, that doesn’t happen at this school.
So the principal is alerted that pie kid, who’s been on the run from security for 2 months, is in his office with today’s pie. So the kid waits in the office finishing his pie and the principal walks in, closes the door, sits down, and says something like “what is going on?”
At this point the kid (who has finished his pie of the day) gets up, calmly walks over to the window, opens it, climbs out, hops the bushes under the window, and runs away.
That was the last anyone at the school saw him.
Well that was unexpected but a lovely tie in and that school needs to have better control of its windows.

I'll try to get fancy photos later but my French copies of @meganwhalenturners The Thief and Queen of Attolia just arrived!
Full package details below the cut, but I have to shout out @chimaerakitten for the inclusion of her gorgeous bookmark!!
to me the thing about deification is that something fundamental is lost in the process
people can’t be immortal. so in order to be immortal you can’t be a person anymore. you have to be distilled. stripped of everything. till you come out the other side as an abstract concept.
your unreliable narrator fucking bit me
thats not how they told it
A broken perfume amphora for my heart and soul, Irene. A hook for both my trash son, Gen, and for the fandom. Merry Christmas to me!
they make my heart hurt
Here are my garden residents that are named after Queen's Thief characters! The tall one is Irene, followed by Sophos in the middle, and lastly Eugenides II on the right.
I love them very much <3
I sort of think cactus is appropriate for Irene and Eugenides, but Sophos? He's such a softie!
megan he shot the ambassador
I'm on day four of no electricity thanks to Hurricane Helene: Revenge of the Gulf (Special Extended Edition), but I went in search of WiFi to bring you my contribution to Hamiathe's Gift Exchange! AO3 user cottonmycandy asked for a glimpse of Irene and Eugenides in court, sharing a surreptitious moment of intimacy (Gen, as always, is less subtle). I titled it "Only to Those With Eyes to See," because Phresine certainly caught this look, even if nobody else did.
listen. LISTEN. them.
(also on ao3)
It was a kiss between a man and his wife, and when it was over, the king closed his eyes and rested his forehead against the hollow of the queen’s shoulder, like a man seeking respite, like a man reaching home at the end of the day.
hi, i'm very cool and normal about these books, don't worry about me

This is NOT an entry because that would be ethically dubious but also this reader advisory remains my pride and joy.
