Because I’m not a complete cynic, this whole time I’ve been thinking about which classic moments from the series (let’s be optimistic that the whole series gets adapted) that would be amazing on the screen.

Library of Congress (lccn.loc.gov). Retrieved 2015-11-01. Eugenides: AKA, Gen, is an arrogant, stubborn young thief who claims that he can steal anything—and whose mouth often gets him into trouble. Gen speaks little of his own life, but we know his mother died when he was young and that his father wanted him to become a soldier. Whether you’ve been waiting three years (since the most recent book’s publication) or nearly twenty-five for the conclusion to what The Thief started, we’ve come a long way. If you have not had the time to cram a speed-reread in, we’ve got you covered with a series primer so you’ll be all caught up for Return of The Thief. Summary: After sneaking into the queen of Attolia’s palace several times and increasingly taunting her with his presence, Eugenides is finally caught. While she initially plans to kill him to recover her pride and control, Attolia decides instead to spare his life for a crueler punishment: She cuts off his hand. The suggestion comes from Nahuseresh, the ambassador from the Mede empire who clearly believes that he can romance this haughty queen and take her throne.Series Moment: There are so many in this book! The biggest ones are from Costis’ perspective, as his view of the king becomes the readers’ (despite the information we already know), and so it almost seems as if Eugenides and Attolia do not actually love one another. Then Eugenides almost gets killed, and the kiss they share is so charged and romantic, that the reader realizes they have always been like this, they’re just incredibly private—and very careful about who they invite into that confidence.

As Costis watches Eugenides in his public and private moments, he witnesses the king of Attolia incredibly survive an assassination attempt; counsel his wife not to execute the few men she still trusts for perceived betrayals or failures to protect her; ruin the house of Baron Erondites by sentencing his son Sejanus for sabotage and exiling Dite to protect him, in a mere 98 days; and reveal the greatest secret of all, that he and his wife actually do love one another. In that love, Eugenides spares both Teleus, captain of the Guard, and Relius, Attolia’s spymaster; while both expect their queen to be characteristically merciless, Eugenides knows that if she keeps giving away pieces of her heart out of the obligation to be a cruel ruler, eventually she will have no heart, and the entire nation will suffer.Regardless of the setup, what will be key to the execution is the film device (most often seen in mysteries and thrillers) of returning to prior moments to fill in new information—that is, the difference between Gen adjusting his hair tie and actually showing him stashing Hamiathes’ Gift in his hair. You could even do this with new moments, like showing Gen’s family as the magus must see them (poor, unskilled, estranged) when he initially describes them, and then how they actually are (royal, highly trained, yet still idiosyncratic).
