queensthiefWe're re-read Thick as Thieves here on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sounis this month to celebrate the first anniversary of its release. Click HERE for the reading schedule and more info on how you can participate.
This week we're reading CHAPTERS 1-3 (p1-85)* 85 pages total or approximately the first 2 hours and 10 minutes of the audio narration if you're listening.
Revist Kamet's aquaphobia, Costis speaking Mede like an over-sized child, Laela's deceptive pallor, escaping the Namreen on a slow moving river boat that's on fire, and Kamet as an apathetic caravan guard.
This particular re-read will be a little more interactive, as we're asking each participant to make their own post each week for discussing the book(s) rather then follow a lead. Feel free to also use the comment section of this post to discuss. If you don't have anything to say one particular week, just skip on to the next.
In case you wanted to revist the initial TaT discussions from 2017, you can find that HERE.
Happy reading!
*page numbers are from the 2017 hardcover edition.

Autononmous basically means independent. Attolia, Sounis; Eddis are all independent soveriegn state and mostly centered around their capital city that bears the same name as the country. My guess is that Kamet is calling them city states, because they are not controlled by any of the surrounding empires or greater powers. Not necessarily because there is only one metropolis.
I think all of Helen's ministers are barons or members of her massive extended family. So, they work in the government, I guess? Look after the sheep? XD
In traditional fedual systems, barons looked after the peasants farming their land. So, they are probably mostly looking after farms, villiages, and those timber and mining opporations on their land.
