*CatharsisFactor: This is a common reaction among readers to certain events in several of the books.
** After ''chapters'' of witnessing Gen's gradual slide into depression after losing his hand in ''The Queen of Attolia'', he suddenly comes roaring back into the action by blowing up the Sounisian navy in it's own harbor ''and'' stealing the Magus, twisting the knife as he does so by pointing out that the Magus had previously suggested that he stop sulking and do something productive. Much praise has been given to Turner for how well she timed his return to form, giving the reader just enough angst for them to really feel the weight of what he'd gone through, but taking care to put a stop to it before it got to be too much.
** After Gen spent the first two thirds of ''The King of Attolia'' being bullied by his own attendants and being seen as a blundering buffoon by everyone else, he destroys the entire farce in a single scene, utterly cowing his attendants and single-handedly taking down the greatest threat to his throne from his sick bed. Every character present is left dumbstruck and wondering how on earth they'd managed to forget that the king they'd all considered inept was also the same Thief of Eddis who had once kidnapped their own queen from under their very noses, which is exactly what readers had been wondering throughout the entire book.
** Thick as Thieves was finally released in 2017 after a seven year wait, the longest gap in the series. It featured the long awaited return of [[spoiler: fan favorite Costis]], who was at last depicted as being in his element and no longer the resident ButtMonkey, and it was also a bit of a BreatherEpisode, with less emphasis on political intrigue and returning more to the road trip elements from the first book and focusing on the growing friendship between the two main characters.
