how old are the both the queens?
Eden Linford It never actually says but I think that in this book Attollia is about 24 and Eddis is 22.

How old is Eugenides in this book? I know he's rather young, and sometimes the third-person narrator refers to him as "boy," but I can't get a handle on his age, and I haven't come across it yet. My sense is 17ish, but I'm not sure why I think that.

Eugenides's age is never specified in the books, but based on a few facts his general age can be inferred. Eugendies was ten in the Thief! short-story printed in Disney Adventures magazine. In this story, Helen's brothers have just died; but her father is still alive, meaning Thief! takes place just a few short months before she becomes queen. It is specified in the Eddis short-story, published in The King of Attolia paperback, that Helen is five years older then Eugenides, (about fifteen years old in the story Thief!). That would make her fifteen or sixteen when she became queen. In The Thief it is stated that she has been ruling Eddis for five years thus making Eugenides 15-16 from the time he entered the prison in the first book till the time he completes his mission at 16. In The Queen of Attolia, it is mentioned that Helen has been queen for seven years. Therefore she is approximately twenty-two in the middle of The Queen of Attolia, and Eugenides is seventeen.

The following ages can be approximated:

The Thief: 15 or 16

The Queen of Attolia: 16 or 17 (beginning) - 17 or 18 (ending)

The King of Attolia: 18 or 19(less)

Do you need to read "The Thief" before reading "The Queen of Attolia"? "The Thief" doesn't seem to be as well-liked as the second book.
Tandie The Thief gets you emotionally invested in Gen, the male protagonist. It also gives you a lot of the politics between the 3 kingdoms. I was surprised …moreThe Thief gets you emotionally invested in Gen, the male protagonist. It also gives you a lot of the politics between the 3 kingdoms. I was surprised that I liked it so much, a few really good plot twists. I highly recommend reading it first.(less)
