I didn’t hate this book, but I didn’t really like it either. A few problems. First it felt as though this book was rushed, we skipped from event to event quickly and that lead to feeling rushed. And as a result of the rushed feeling the book feels more like a prologue to a longer story rather than...
I liked this one so much more than I liked The Queen of Attolia! You can read my review here to see my thoughts of that one before digging into this one if you'd like. One reason this is my favorite of the 3 is because Eugenides is so present. I'm a fan of his, even though I still feel like I'm miss...
Here's another book that my friends are bowled over by, and I just sit to the side wondering that the hell I'm missing. I did like it, but it's certainly not a 5 star read for me, and I'm getting more dissatisfied with the way the author writes the books as well. I like to have my books have plenty...
A lot happened in this book. In some places I wished I was reading the Kindle edition, because so many things happened that it would have been very helpful to be able to search for a name in the later half when an event or person from earlier was referenced and I didn't remember the details any long...
This book was a great read. I got through it I think within a night. A story that continues with Gen and Attolia, the queen in their quest to unit the kingdom of Attolia and bring peace between itself and Eddis the neighboring kingdom.The book is packed with everything you will love, suspense, plott...
Another great entry to this series.I have to admit, upon reading the summary and some of the reviews, I was a bit nervous about this book being in the third-person POV of a newly-introduced character (Costis). But, Megan Whalen Turner handled this marvelously, and just like with The Queen of Attolia...
I really did not enjoy the first book in the series (The Thief) but pressed on to read The Queen of Attolia based on the recommendations and reviews of some people whose opinions I really respect.Well, I'm very, very glad that I did.This book hit everything that I was hoping for in the first book. F...
In perusing the GoodReads reviews for 'The Thief' after I read it, I was struck by the fact that the majority of reviewers seemed to have read it only to get to this book, persevering through it only because they had heard that the sequel was really good. (Implying, of course, that the Thief was no...
A jaw-dropping beginning melting into a sluggish middle and then building up to a cracker of a finale.This just might have been my favourite part - Attolia looked at Eddis’s minister of war. “How is your head, sir?” she asked politely.“Gray,” he answered cryptically.Eddis looked at her minister, cur...
