✔anyway a romantic pairing that got set up in book ONE just got payed off ✔I have never seen an author follow through in such interesting ways ✔Megan Whalen Turner is so good at planting and payoff it makes me want to cry I’ve read five books of this now, so here’s a quick roundoff of my points: Sophos, drawing on his memories of Gen, Pol, the Magus and Eddis, sets out on an adventure that will change all of their lives forever. And Sophos, anonymous and alone, bides his time. Darkening the horizon, the Mede Empire threatens, always, from across the sea. But as time goes by, it becomes less and less certain that they will ever see their friend alive again.Īcross the small peninsula battles are fought, bribes are offered, and conspiracies are set in motion. In Attolia, Eugenides, the new and unlikely king, has never stopped wondering what happened to Sophos. Sophos, the heir to the throne of Sounis, disappears without a trace. How would he save his mother? His sisters? Himself? Could he reach the horses in time? Where would he go? But nothing prepares him for the day armed men, silent as thieves, swarm the villa courtyard ready to kill, to capture, to kidnap. Sophos, under the guidance of yet another tutor, practices his swordplay and strategizes escape scenarios should his father's villa come under attack.
