A Conspiracy of Kings
A Conspiracy of Kings | Megan Whalen Turner
Sophos, heir to the throne of Sounis, has disappeared without a trace. Eugenides, the new and unlikely king of Attolia, has never stopped wondering what happened to his friend. Nor has the Queen of Eddis, who once offered Sophos her hand. They send spies. They pay informants. They appeal to the gods. But as time goes by, it becomes less and less certain that they will ever see their friend alive again. Battles are fought, bribes are offered, and conspiracies are set in motion. Across the sea, a ruthless empire watches for even the slightest weakness. And Sophos, anonymous and alone, bides his time. Until, drawing on his memories of Gen, Pol, the magusand EddisSophos sets out on an adventure that will change all of their lives forever.

When I got home from work, I meant to listen just until I finished the chapter I was on. A few hours later, I finished the book. This was Sophos' story and I was so happy to hear him become a stronger, more confident character and start to really come into his own. I'm looking forward to the next book so I can find out what happens next. I have to wait for it to be available through Libby though.

Started listening to the fourth book in the Queen's Thief series this morning. I'm hoping to finish this series before the end of the year.

Apparently I am living that terrible insomnia life right now so I'm just pushing through this entire series instead of sleeping. This was good but didn't eclipse the last one. Readers are reunited with Sophos from the first book and it's nice to see him come into his own. Could have used more insane Eugenides plotting though.

Okay I feel like my love of this series comes from a very specific thing: the books are exactly as long as they need to be. I know that's a weird thing to notice but it's true. Everything that needs to be included...is included.

Also, we need to talk about this ending because the whole last 1/3 just sent me spinning! I just kept scream cheering! I can't wait to read the next book.

cookreadsleep That‘s an inspiring review! 5y

This was my second time reading this book, and I was better able to appreciate it. Knowing the general structure definite helped me notice things I hadn't the first time around. #reread

#backtoreading #anditsaugust #manicmonday

No one called me to (paid) work, so I spent the day reviewing books, re-reading book 4 in the Queen's Thief series, and answering Qs in my volunteer position. It wasn't manic at all. It was good.

#getindie I am so hooked on this series I went back to buy the fourth book at Bolen's . I know I'm going to whip through The King of Attolia and I'll need this one to hand. #blameitonLitsy for an amazing YA series 👍😀

Abby2 I agree, great series! I haven't read the forth one yet but it's on hold for me. 7y
Dragon It's so good and a pleasure to read! Starting The King 👑 of Attolia today 💕, thanks @Abby2 7y

This series is so fun and interesting! I've actually grown to love how each book has a different POV, and I really enjoyed the POV in this one, plus some of my favorite characters are back together! Still a little hype-monster effect for me but also enjoying each book.

What are you #CurrentlyReading? I just started A Conspiracy of Kings on audio which is the 4th book in the Queen's Thief series! I'm also still in the middle of Queens of Geek ?
I'm really enjoying Litsy so far! Do we know if they have "librarians" like Goodreads does? So far the many multiple editions and lack of covers is making me ?? Love the different platform so far though!

SophiaAlexisBooks I'm currently reading The Dark Prophecy by Rick Riordan as well as listening to the I'll Give You The Sun audiobooks 7y

emmekamalei Currently reading Sir Gawain with Pearl and Sir Orfeo in Tolkien's translations. 😊 Also gotta tell you I agree with your frustrations about the book editions!! Hopefully they'll improve with time. 😬 7y

Escape_reality18 Currently reading Before I Fall. Well I'm trying to just get through it at this point. I won't to give i a chance but I don't really enjoy it. I might have to drop it soon. Also listening to Audiobook Ready Player One and it is super good. 7y
britreadsbooks Yes they do! If you search for a book and they don't have it there is an option for you to request adding a book and the "librarians" look into it! 7y

#bookanddinner! You'd think I wouldn't stay up until the early hours of the morning to finish a book I've already before, but I did with this one! It was good to refresh my memory because this was the book that I've reread the least out of the entire series. I loved the earlier books more but this had the usual dose of amazing writing, awesome characters and political intrigue to spice up the plot.

It's cute how Sophos keeps thinking about what Eugenides would do, just goes to show how much he looks up to Gen.

I would also like to thank Diana Wynne Jones for her writing (my favorite of hers is Howl's Moving Castle) and for giving Megan Whalen Turner a leg up. I wouldn't be reading MWT's amazing writing if not for DWJ!

#bookandtea #tea #dedication #fantasy

Foragingfantasy I love Howl!! DWJ is awesome, I'll have to check this book out. 7y
Chachic @Foragingfantasy You should definitely check MWT's books since DWJ recommended her writing.😊 The series starts with 7y

Friday evening #bookanddinner: A Conspiracy of Kings, smoked salmon and dill pasta, earl grey lavender tea. I've been steadily going through the Queen's Thief series titles because I wanted to reread the earlier ones before starting the newest release, Thick as Thieves. Prolonging the enjoyment!💖

I find that I'm totally okay with the deus ex machina in this book because the book hinted there would be: "...I am as delighted as anyone else when an actor in the role of a god is lowered onto the stage..." (237).

Also the blurb makes me twitchy. "Sheer" is an adjective trying to modify another adjective. ?

Another solid pick for me from the Queen's Thief series. I love this series so much! Queen of Attolia is still my fave, with King of Attolia a close second, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one, too. SO looking forward to the next installment! And completing this book moves me along in my goal of finishing at least 4 in-progress series this year--this marks 3 series completed. (At least until May 16, when the next one is released...)

#BookandDinner: calamari salad and beef cheek papardelle that my friend and I shared. This is definitely my pick for #SequelPlease! I know I keep talking about Megan Whalen Turner lately but I can't help it. She's one of my all time favorite authors and after SEVEN LONG YEARS, we are finally getting the next book in the series in 2017.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Not my favorite viewpoint character in the series but Turner got me again with her immersive, well-built world and juicy politics. Wish I'd gotten to see more of Gen, but overall I really enjoyed it.

Loved it! I was really happy to finally get to see Sophos' journey and how he comes into his own! That Elisa scene was so badass! 😍 Absolutely cannot wait for the next book to come out!!! 😆

Chachic I need to reread this series in preparation for the fifth book. I still can't believe we're FINALLY getting a new installment! 7y
eekabook @Chachic Same! I know when I started reading the series last year, I wasn't expecting a new book since there were such long waits between them and the future books seemed stuck in untitled Goodreads limbo. 7y
