I keep thinking about this and about how the subjectivity of point of view is SUCH A PREVALENT THEME in the Queen's Thief and quite possibly the most transformative aspect of the entire masterpiece...
- How drastically different Costis's character is when narrated as 3rd person limited by himself (KOA) as compared to when spoken of in 1st person by Kamet in TAT (as Kamet gradually falls in love with him)...
-How we begin inside of Gen's Head in TT and then the we get further and further and FURTHER away from inside Gen's head across the series until we only hear of the initially hilariously biased and ultimately resolved understanding of Gen through Kamet (who it turns out ironically, knew the King fairly intimately as a friend, from the very beginning without knowing it!)
