I've had this book on my "to read" list for awhile, but just never seemed to get around to it. It came up on sale for the kindle for $1.99 and I could no longer resist. It is fantastic. I was engrossed from the beginning even though I thought I knew how it would turn out. I did figure out a few ...

After marrying the Queen of Attolia in the last book Eugenides had become King, not something he wanted. This book he must come to terms with that. Within the series I like this book the best. I thought Costis, the narrator, was an interesting voice. I was half way through the book before it occur...

Eugenides was known as the man who could steal anything. In this book he was caught and paid the price. Then in recovering he was required to steal a man, a navy and a queen.

Give me 500 paragraphs again to praise this one, and it still wouldn't be enough. Say I did, or I might bore you--or run out of space, whichever comes first.Let me sum it up for you: this is one of the most amazing, beautiful, amusing books I've ever read.

Ohmygod, this fantasy world is so addicting. Who knew there existed an exceedingly clever king who would outwit the whole court? This is amazing, beyond my wildest dreams. On to the next book.

There has always been something about these books that bothers me and makes me unable to rate them 5 stars. At first, I didn't know exactly what it was, but after the third instalment I realized what my problem was. I LOVE foreshadowing, and being able to engage with the story and guess what might h...

The Queen of Attolia was an intense read, full of political intrigue, espionage, betrayal, and, yes, love. I don't know why I liked this book just as much as the first one, when most people rated it as better. For me, Megan Whalen Turner's writing doesn't work until about halfway through the book. W...

This is insanely good. The craft with which this is written is just unbelievable.
