Haha. I re-read The Thief the other day and found some things I didn't realise fully before.

1) When Gen's leaving the city of Sounis just as he almost misses Philonikes: "...and then the king's warships lined up at their docks. I was counting the cannons bolted to their decks...." Hah. I wonder if Gen thought back to the day he left the city of sounis when he went to blow up Sounis's navy and implement fake cannon? 

2) In Chapter 1 Gen mentions the King of Sounis "was no relation to any of the families that had ruled the city in the past." So whoever on a previous post said Sounis was just as unstable as Attolia, was right.

I noticed something when I reread it recently, too. You only have the power of Hamiathes's gift if it is given to you. The god Eugenides gave it to Gen, Gen gave it to the Magus, Gen took it back but it still gave him immortality, I suppose because Eugenides had given it to him. Then Gen gave it to Eddis.

I don't know if that all means anything, but I just noticed it.

Whatever happened to Philo anyway?

Oh, he's probably still in Sounis spying for his Queen.

That was me! So glad I am occasionally right.

occasionally *snort*, more than that! We love your explanations of things because they put things together and make them sound so much more sense.

Sometimes Gen reminds me of Sherlock Holmes: "All men are specialists, but his specialty is omniscence." versus "I am omniscent. I know everything."

There was a lot going on during that part that we didn't know about. Gen had people watching and protecting Costis. Attempts had been made on Costis's life that we didn't know about. I wonder what else Gen had going on that we and Costis didn't know about.
