He ends up being a slave on a great estate, working outdoors as a digger. He barely survives a kidnapping and escapes, but only in part. Now we backtrack to find out where Sophos has been. He was also a sweet kid who developed a crush on the queen of Eddis. Despite being heir to the throne, Sophos was basically a wimp. Sophos, nephew of the tyrannical king of Sounis, first appeared in The Thief (Book 1). In Book 3, the marvelous The King of Attolia, we were told in passing that Sophos was missing and feared to be dead. In case you haven't been following the adventures of trickster Gen (Eugenides), I will attempt to explain why.īut first, an introduction to the plot. And yep, Kirkus, School Library Journal, Booklist, Horn Book, and Publishers Weekly all gave A Conspiracy of Kings starred reviews. So I awaited Book 4 of The Queen's Thief series with vast anticipation. There are only a handful of writers whose work I admire with near-slavish devotion, and Megan Whalen Turner is one of them.
