Eugenides

Eugenides. The hero (er, kinda) of Megan Whalen Turner's books The Thief, The Queen of Attolia, and The King of Alttolia. They are set in a pseudomediaeval pseudogreece. Dear Gen is the Queen's Thief of a mountain country called Eddis. He tends to get into trouble with his gods, especially the god of thieves, after whom h is named. They have been known to tell him (personally) to 'Stop whining' and 'Go to bed'. This one is about the middle end of Queen, I think. Actually, for those who know, I think that thins is in the cave under Ephrata. For those of you who don't, our dear Gen-boy is about to kidnap the queen of Attolia. Look! The feather-shaped scar! If you look close enough, there's also a scar on his forehead, but my scanner may have eaten it.
