queensthiefI'm a member of a group in Goodreads called Young Adult Fiction for Adults and they just created a thread for MWT's series. Yay for more people reading the books! Anyway, it's just funny because one of them made this comment:
Also, am I the only one that thought he was a girl? Gen is pretty ambiguous. Just when I was comfortable with imagining him as a girl, they refer to Gen as "he". Oh well! I'm sure if I had read the flap or description that may have been revealed.
I said that I never heard of anyone else who thought he was a girl. Here's more:
It was the way he talked and the bragging thoughts, made me think he was a girl. Like all the guys got to do everything and she was awesome because not only was she a girl, but she could steal anything. And then he referred to Ambiades as handsome. But then they started calling him he and that made sense. He was just young and bragging that even though he was lower in status, his talent was better than even the most noble born - or something like that. And when I said Gen was ambiguous, I meant the name: Jen/Gen.
She said she didn't realize Gen was a guy until page 23 of the book. Isn't that interesting?
