Queen of Attolia
Queen of Attolia | Megan Whalen Turner
When his small mountains country goes to war with the powerful nation of Attolia, Eugenides the thief is faced with his greatest challenge. He must steal a man, he must steal a queen, and he must steal peace.But his greatest triumph-as well as his greatest loss-can only come if he succeeds in capturing something the Queen of Attolia may have sacrificed long ago.

I enjoyed this as much as the first because it has a slow character driven build up to the explosion of an ending where are the subtle maneuvering has lead to. I liked that we see more of Eugenides and his character growth. My only main criticism is that the 'romantic' bits felt underdeveloped and a little tacked on.

I enjoyed this book even more than the first book. In fact, I absolutely loved it. Megan Whalen Turner is so good at surprises. I don't usually like political fantasy but I'm so glad I decided to give this series a chance and will definitely continue with it. The audiobook narration is also fantastic.

I am not a great audiobook listener - I‘m too easily distracted and easily forget details if it‘s been too long - so discovering that rereading old favorites via audio works for me has been a joy. Esp when those favorites have an excellent narrator as the thief series does. Always love!

This was a wild ride! Twists and turns that Turner seems to excel at! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
Will be taking a break from the series to enjoy this ending I do believe :). How long that break will be might be days or weeks. Who knows!

Oh boy there was a lot of politics in this and I THINK I kept it all straight. Once again everyone be lying to each other 24/7/365. This just feels like the OG YA politic fantasy for some reason to me. I'm not CRAZY about the romance developing but I can definitely see its purpose

Though this second book suffered from a few pacing issues, I love where the story went in this novel. The additional perspectives added to this second book benefited the story. I've started the third book, and I am enjoying it just as much!

Now I have signed and personalized copies of two of my all-time favorite books: The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia. Perfect for all the times I'll be rereading these in the future (These are my fourth copies, I think? I have paperbacks of the old editions, ebooks, and my lending copies are with a friend).

Finally finished rereading this gem of a novel! Still as good as I remembered it to be, and I highlighted so many lines because I loved them. If you're a fan of YA fantasy then you should definitely read MWT's Queen's Thief series! I have so much love for her writing and I can't wait to reread more of it. A brownie and a dirty chai chocolate in the background! ☕🍰

#bookanddessert! The best kind of desserts are the ones that have ripe Philippine mangoes in them. This is Cafe Breton's signature La Pinay crepe. The only thing that would make this even better was if Bono Gelato's mango ube was used to top it instead of vanilla ice cream. Also, I keep tagging the same book because I barely have time to read while on vacation.
