Thick as Thieves Speculation - Everything We Know
So, I've had a cup of tea and a moment to calm down, and have (mostly) silienced my internal screaming. It's time to review everything we know about book five and update our theories.
There may be minor SPOILERS in this post, so if you don't want to know anything about the book other than the title and cover before you read it, please do not click.
Title: Thick as Thieves (TaT?)
Page Length: 400 pages (source) That's longer than all the other books.
Megan informed me that this is false information. 352 pages is the count currently listed on Amazon.
Release Date: May 16, 2017
Cover-
Details -
A burning ship on the waves.
A dock with two dock ladders.
A female figure in a flowing dress with her hair in a bun.
Two figures walking together that appear to be male
A gold building, a megaron I assume, with birds in flight overhead
Hills.
The Keywords-
"dirt. gold. slave. lion. ship." (source)
(There's a ship on fire on the front cover! What does it mean?)
MWT-
Book 5 is the second half of The King of Attolia. (source)
Book 5 was re-written into first person from third person. (source) There has been speculation that the book is written from a new character's POV.
Theories, reprobates?
Is part of the book going to take place at sea? Will Pirate!Sophos finally be realized? Who set the ship on fire? Are we going to have a Queen Liz vs. the Spanish Armada battle between the Tri-nation Alliance of Eugenides (I just made that up) and the Mede?
Is Costis going to return as a major player if this book is picking up where KoA left off?
Whose megaron is that?
Who are the people walking and the woman standing by herself?
Is the slave Megan talking about Kamet? He did escape with Nahusersquish on a ship. Was Kamet kidnapped by pirates and eventually became one himself? Is this book turning into the Princess Bride?
GUYS!!! PIRATES!!!!!!
*really wants pirates to be in this book
