In The Queen's Thief: The Thief, did you enjoy ...

... a cunning protagonist on a dangerous, high-stakes mission?

The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen

If you loved Eugenides's clever maneuvering and the tension of his mission to steal Hamiathes’s Gift, you'll be hooked by Sage’s perilous quest and the intricate plot to impersonate a missing prince. The False Prince balances suspense, danger, and wit as its main character must outsmart both allies and enemies to survive.

... a protagonist whose journey is marked by personal transformation and self-discovery?

Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

If Gen’s growth from a self-serving thief to someone shaped by his experiences resonated with you, you'll appreciate Seraphina’s gradual journey toward self-acceptance and confidence. Seraphina deftly explores the complexities of identity, secrets, and inner strength as its heroine navigates dangerous court intrigue.

... heroes whose morals are flexible and whose actions keep you guessing?

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

If Eugenides’s slippery ethics and the way he outwits both friends and foes drew you in, you’ll be enthralled by Locke Lamora and his band of con artists. The Lies of Locke Lamora is full of deception, clever schemes, and characters who walk a fascinating line between heroism and self-interest.

... a richly detailed world with its own history, politics, and mythology?

Sabriel by Garth Nix

If you enjoyed the lush worldbuilding of Sounis and Eddis, and the depth of the gods and legends surrounding Gen’s world, you’ll be captivated by the Old Kingdom’s necromancy, magical rules, and lore in Sabriel. The book immerses you in a land where every setting feels alive and significant.

... plot twists and reversals that keep you on your toes?

Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner

If the jaw-dropping twists in The Thief—from Gen’s true motives to the last-minute reveals—left you gasping, you’ll be riveted by the even more dramatic reversals and cunning schemes in Queen of Attolia. This sequel takes the art of surprise to a whole new level, keeping you guessing until the very end.
