No more words to describe how good this book is. I only wish it were 1000 pages long.

Lol remember in the Fall of 2019 when I read The Thief and thought it was boring and then a bunch of people on Reddit told me I should try the rest of the series anyway so I did over a year later and binged the rest of the audiobooks in a few weeks?
Anyway, that's the only time anyone on Reddit was ever right about anything.

Brilliant conclusion to a brilliant series
***
A great conclusion to the Queen's Thief series, tying so much together that the first thing I wanted to do was go back and read them all again!

All the pieces come together in the finale, as told by Ferris Erondites, who was an eye witness.

Well done.

Just as enjoyable as the first 5. The series overall does suffer from the same kind of ever-heightening-stakes-and-powers problem that a lot of long-running fantasy series get. Turner's a good enough author that it's not very bothersome. I didn't think that Pheris's character brought very much to the book, unfortunately.

How to approach this review?
I came to this series late. All six books had been published over a 20-year period and I was lucky enough to pick up the first book only this year with the entire series available to me. I started reading these books because I had a very rough few years, the world has had a rough few years, and everything has felt so dark and heavy. At the same time, I ended up reading a lot of heavier books, and it was all starting to weigh on me. I needed something to escape - I needed something fun. The books were both immensely fun and heavy, but at all times left me feeling warm and happy to have come to this world and experienced the stories of these characters. Eugenides is one of my all-time favourite characters, and I suspect a favourite for most people who read this series, but it's not just him that kept bringing me back. It was each of the characters, the relationships between them, the masterful writing, and the complex world.
This book had not been the long anticipated wait that it was for so many people, but it was the culmination of an incredible journey through this world that Turner has created. This book lived up to all expectations. It was told from the perspective of a new character, but the character is a silent observer to the point that you sometimes forget that this is still a limited perspective novel. This book is much longer than any of the others, deals with some heavier topics, and a full war, and ties up many of the plot lines and conflicts that have been building up throughout the series. But it also contains so much love, joy, and fun! It is so beautiful in how it contains that multitude.
I laughed, I cried, I devoured the book. I am both so thrilled with the ending our characters got and so sad that this is now goodbye.
Thank you for this series - I really think it came into my life when I needed it and I am so thankful to now revisit it whenever I need to escape and feel a big comforting hug.
What a gift these books have been.
