It takes awhile for the book to be written, but the way the plot is carefully developed - where the reader doesn’t always know everything that is going on until the very end - makes it such a satisfying read. All of the books in the Queen’s Thief series is built on a kind of twist and now that I expect it with the series, it was so interesting to read this book, looking for where the surprise will be. Thick as Thieves is a different kind of adventure to the previous books in the series, and centers on the point of view and personality of Kamet - a very intelligent, slightly prejudiced, sheltered servant who finds himself on the run with an Attolian. Most of the story is built on the relationship between Kamet and the Attolian (another delicious aspect to this story is that we are not told who the Attolian is, until almost the end of the book.) I loved the way the characters were developed in this - with enough action and close, daring escapes to make the plot move quickly. Kamet as a character was also fascinating to watch develop. He is a good man, but with flaws, and it was rewarding to see him become a better person through his ordeal. Although we are kept at a distance from the Attolian because we only see him through Kamet’s eyes - the Attolian’s character development was also noteworthy because of how the reader can interpret his character better than Kamet does because Kamet is hampered by his preconceived ideas. I’m always in awe of how intricately the books in the Queen’s Thief series are written, and Thick as Thieves was another wonderful installment. There were some previous characters that I would have liked to see more of, but I love that the author takes such different approaches to each book in the series, and seeing how the world-building comes together makes for a wonderful immersive reading experience. Review: Technically Well Written - It is always a refreshing change to read a book by Megan Whalen Turner. Besides being wonderful stories, her books are technically well written making them a pleasure to read. I am never distracted by glaring typos or poor grammar. In fact, I had to buy a second copy of the "King of Attolia" because I wore out my first one. If you are a fan of the series, you will have to add this book to your collection. Now, having said all that, I'm afraid I must admit that of the five books, this is my least favorite. The events that made up the main body of the story felt just a little too drawn out and repetitive. And while the main character Kamet was interesting, at no point did I develop an attachment to him as I did Eugenides or even Costis. I still believe that there are many more great books to come in this series and I am looking forward to the next adventure. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #133,975 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #228 in Teen & Young Adult Fantasy Romance #372 in Teen & Young Adult Epic Fantasy #413 in Teen & Young Adult Fantasy Action & Adventure | | Book 5 of 6 | The Queen's Thief | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,374) | | Dimensions | 5.31 x 0.86 x 8 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade level | 8 - 9 | | ISBN-10 | 0062568264 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0062568267 | | Item Weight | 9.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 384 pages | | Publication date | May 15, 2018 | | Publisher | Greenwillow Books | | Reading age | 13 years and up | ## Images ![Thick as Thieves (Queen’s Thief, 5) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81W4ra5sshL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another intriguing, intricate novel! *by C***E on July 11, 2017* The Queen’s Thief series is one of my favorite fantasy series ever, and the fact that these books come out every few years, builds such a delicious amount of anticipation, which I find is always fully rewarded once I get going with one of Megan Whalen Turner’s books.

Besides being wonderful stories, her books are technically well written making them a pleasure to read. I am never distracted by glaring typos or poor grammar. In fact, I had to buy a second copy of the "King of Attolia" because I wore out my first one. If you are a fan of the series, you will have to add this book to your collection. Now, having said all that, I'm afraid I must admit that of the five books, this is my least favorite. The events that made up the main body of the story felt just a little too drawn out and repetitive. And while the main character Kamet was interesting, at no point did I develop an attachment to him as I did Eugenides or even Costis. I still believe that there are many more great books to come in this series and I am looking forward to the next adventure. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It takes a thief to set a captive free *by B***M on May 17, 2017* Kamet is happy to be a powerful slave to a powerful man. His master, Nahuseresh, may have fallen out of favor a bit over that small disaster in Attolia, but Nahuseresh is still the Emperor's nephew and brother to the heir. Kamet hoards his power and favors carefully as he knows he's destined to become the most powerful slave in the Mede empire and perhaps the second most powerful man, second only to the Emperor himself. Kamet's been trained all his life for this. Kamet's happy with his lot in life, greedily eyeing his destination and putting up with beatings as part of the status quo, until he's stolen at Eugenides' command. The King of Attolia takes his spite out on Kamet, sending an Attolian soldier to steal the slave away on the very day his master is poisoned. And thus begins Kamet's slow torturous journey to freedom he does not want in a kingdom he despises as a backward cesspit. There are many discoveries along the twisting road to freedom, friends made and found, gods wandering anonymously, and behind it all - overlapping intrigues and plans-within-plans - is our favorite thief. And behind him stand the gods. Megan Whalen Turner is at her twisty best. Everything we love about the Queen’s Thief series is here and in play again. We are immersed in Eugenides’ world in a fantastic read that I will immediately re-read just to see what hints or twists I missed. There’s so much about the human spirit, slavery, freedom, and friendship in this book. It’s all cleverly hidden in a story that’s almost impossible to put down to eat and sleep. Megan Whalen Turner is an incredible writer and every bit of that talent is invested in the hidden cracks and crannies of this story. My only quibble with this book is that it ended and I must wait for the next book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/66791740-thick-as-thieves-queen-s-thief-5](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/66791740-thick-as-thieves-queen-s-thief-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
