Every time I reread this book I'm shocked that I loved it so much as a kid (-ish... I was ~14 the first time I read it?). It's a lot of things I don't really like in books but Turner is such a good author I don't even care. If you haven't read this series yet, get off the internet, get yourself a ...
I don't know what it is about this book. It actually seemed to get exponentially better with every sentence, all the way to the end.At first, I was just struck by the tightness of the prose. Descriptive, witty, shifting perspectives without being overly coy. The occasional bits of humor are complete...
You must know this first. I am smitten. The Queen's Thief is why I read. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Will someone please explain why I haven't heard of Megan Whalen Turner or The Queen's Thief before? What else has the world been hiding from me that I should already know about? Tell me you haven't ...

Super short review b/c this was just pure epicness, through and through! Haven't read a fantasy so good in quite a while. I feel like the first two in the series were pretty much building up to this perfection, even though they were decently good in their own rights! I think the only problem I had w...
I liked The Queen of Attolia, it turned out to be a great book about loyalty and had many political aspects. The queen of Attolia especially went from dislike to hatred to mild admiration all in one book, although admiring might be too strong of a word just yet. I liked seeing elements of high fan...
Eugenides is an oddly likable character. You know he's a scoundrel, but you still want to love him. He's a bit like Han Solo to me, one of my very first crushes. Eugenides, the infamous Thief of Eddis, is now the King of Attolia. He married the Queen, who he loves in some unexplainable way that s...
I was told by many people that book 2 in the series is stronger than book 1. I'm not sure I agree, but I can see how it would hold a different appeal. The Queen of Attolia is a different type of book than The Thief--more "politics of the kingdoms" instead of a traveling adventure heist. The polit...
This is a delightful fantasy, set in a land modeled closely, if not exactly, on the ancient Greek culture, rather than the typical European Middle Ages. No magic, but plenty of swords, and even some guns though they were barely mentioned. Gen is the Queen's Thief of the Queen of Eddis, but he spen...
