The Queen's Thief is consistently one of my absolute favorite series of all time. I read it with my mom growing up, and we're both still big fans. Gen is such a fun (and often annoying) character, and I'm down for all his tricks and scheming, and ultimately his dedication to those he loves. I'm constantly in awe of Megan's writing. It's easy to read, but so clever, and she uses forshadowing masterfully. You read the end of the books, find out the twist, and then immediately have to go back and try to figure out what you missed. These books are just always such a fun, engaging read. I love the setting, the Greek-inspired mythology that is not a copy but it's own thing, and the characters are just so well done. These books are a little on the slower side, they're more political, but the characters are interesting enough and the twists good enough that I think anyone can get into these. While The Thief is not my favorite in the series, I'll just always love it for being the very beginnings of our stories with Gen.
