Horning, Kathleen (2009). The Newbery and Caldecott Awards: A Guide to the Medal and Honor Books. American Library Association. p. 30. ISBN 978-0838935859. Attolia cutting off Gen’s hand, of course. What makes it so devastating in The Queen of Attolia is how it’s almost a blink-and-miss-it moment—the adaptation wouldn’t have to make it any bigger than that, but it must be in there.

This biography of a living person relies too much on references to primary sources. Please help by adding secondary or tertiary sources. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous or harmful. Because I’m not a complete cynic, this whole time I’ve been thinking about which classic moments from the series (let’s be optimistic that the whole series gets adapted) that would be amazing on the screen. My must-haves: Turner was the 2013 Literary Guest of Honor and Keynote Speaker at the Life, the Universe, & Everything professional science fiction and fantasy arts symposium. [7] Eddis: A small, rural country high in the mountains between Sounis and Attolia, also ruled by a queen. Though easily overlooked, unlike its neighbors, Eddis has never been conquered by outside forces. Sounis is hoping to change that…As Costis watches Eugenides in his public and private moments, he witnesses the king of Attolia incredibly survive an assassination attempt; counsel his wife not to execute the few men she still trusts for perceived betrayals or failures to protect her; ruin the house of Baron Erondites by sentencing his son Sejanus for sabotage and exiling Dite to protect him, in a mere 98 days; and reveal the greatest secret of all, that he and his wife actually do love one another. In that love, Eugenides spares both Teleus, captain of the Guard, and Relius, Attolia’s spymaster; while both expect their queen to be characteristically merciless, Eugenides knows that if she keeps giving away pieces of her heart out of the obligation to be a cruel ruler, eventually she will have no heart, and the entire nation will suffer. Vanessa Armstrong Horror Film It Follows to Get a Sequel, Reasonably Titled They Follow 19 hours ago The Queen’s Thief books awe and inspire me. They have the feel of a secret, discovered history of real but forgotten lands. The plot-craft is peerless, the revelations stunning, and the characters flawed, cunning, heartbreaking, exceptional. Megan Whalen Turner’s books have a permanent spot on my favorites shelf, with space waiting for more books to come.”—Laini Taylor, New York Times-bestselling author of the Daughter of Smoke and Bone novels and Strange the Dreamer Summary: After sneaking into the queen of Attolia’s palace several times and increasingly taunting her with his presence, Eugenides is finally caught. While she initially plans to kill him to recover her pride and control, Attolia decides instead to spare his life for a crueler punishment: She cuts off his hand. The suggestion comes from Nahuseresh, the ambassador from the Mede empire who clearly believes that he can romance this haughty queen and take her throne.

Obviously the aforementioned Hamiathes’ Gift reveal in The Thief, but I’m also super interested in seeing how Gen’s fight with the Attolian guard plays out. Hegoes into something of a fugue state while fighting, with the book cutting away from the action and only hinting (through the others’ impressed/horrified reactions) at the damage the skilled Thief dealt via the swordplay he so hates.
