Relation During Books The Queen of Attolia (The Queen's Thief #2)
Revenge When Eugenides, the Thief of Eddis, stole Hamiathes's Gift, the Queen of Attolia lost more than a mythical relic. She lost face. Everyone knew that Eugenides had outwitted and escaped her. To restore her reputation and reassert her power, the Queen of Attolia will go to any length and accept any help that is offered...she will risk her country to execute the perfect revenge. ...but Eugenides can steal anything. And he taunts the Queen of Attolia, moving through her strongholds seemingly at will. So Attolia waits, secure in the knowledge that the Thief will slip, that he will haunt her palace one too many times. ...at what price? When Eugenides finds his small mountain country at war with Attolia, he must steal a man, he must steal a queen, he must steal peace. But his greatest triumph, and his greatest loss, comes in capturing something that the Queen of Attolia thought she had sacrificed long ago...Rating About Books The Queen of Attolia (The Queen's Thief #2)

If I am the pawn of the gods, it is because they know me so well, not because they make my mind up for me. Okay, wow, this was... way better than book one.I love how this one plays around with point of view, showing us both Eugenides views on Attolia and Attolias view on Eugenides: its an excellent view into both of their characters. While I think Whalen Turner occasionally relies too much on not letting you into the head of a character so she can execute a plot twist, we still get anI can't say anything about this book that would give it its worth or express how it affected me , the rating and putting the book in my favorites tells you very well how much I loved this book and loved every thing in it , and I don't know how to write reviews about the books I love anyway.....All I want to say is : this story in the hands of any other writer would've been much much longer , I am amazed at Megan Whalen Turner's ability to use the exact amount of words that can deliver the most
4.25 Gen Stole My Heart StarsI had a great time reading this with a few friends at Buddies Books & Baubles I liked The Thief it was a solid 3 star read, it took a little while to get into but the ending was very solid. The Queen of Attolia though.well lets just say that it had some very unexpected and crazy surprises in store for me. It was so much better than the first book with complex characters and more than one twist I wasnt expecting. I really love it when a book blindsides me with
A great case of the sequel surpassing the first book. I cant talk about any of the plot for this book without completely spoiling book one. And part of the beauty of these books is the clever plot. So instead I will talk about the characters, which in this book are many faceted and much more developed. We again follow our charming little thief Eugenides from book one and we also follow the Queen of Eddis and the Queen of Attolia. There are other characters but these are the main ones we follow.
He lies to himself. If Eugenides talked in his sleep, he'd lie then, too."I liked The Thief but at the same time I didn't love it. Sure, it was a good start but I was curious to see why The queen of Attolia has such a high rating. Well...I understand now. The queen of Attolia is ten times better than the first one. The character development, the plot: cleverly done, well written, if I had more time I would have read this one in a sitting. Gen goes through so much; he started as a clever but also
2.5Edit: I originally rated this 3 stars, but... This book was just SO disappointing, so I'm bringing it down to 2.5. I just... don't even know what was this book. It was REALLY disappointing.Ummm... What on earth was this book? I enjoyed it, but... It was really all over the place. And it was significantly worse than the first book. And just... What even happened here?! Likes - Gen is a likeable MC.- Eddis is amazing!- I really like the Magus... and, um... the role he played in this one was
This powerful sequel to The Thief is one of my very favorite books. Powerful and unflinching, it touches on topics like revenge, hatred, love, and forgiveness in a compelling story I love re-reading--though not very often, because it's neither simple nor superficial in the telling.I'm putting the rest in spoiler territory because I don't want to keep track of what is and is not a spoiler, and the spoilers happen really early in the book. If you haven't read the book, please do.(view spoiler)[I
