COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Logical Confusion submitted by marshd on December 13, 2010, 6:00pm A very strange turn in the story, which somehow makes complete sense. I found it a little more interesting than The Thief, but it still doesn't live up to the latest two.

Title?! submitted by laughterxatxdawn on July 27, 2012, 10:03pm A middling book for a middle of a series.

a great author submitted by unknown on July 29, 2013, 6:08pm "The Queen of Attolia" is a great book. It is true, however that this story is slightly darker/less pleasant than "The Thief," but it is still one of the better books that I have ever read. I find it difficult to write a review on "The Queen of Attolia" because it has so many little twits and such a clever plot that if I am not careful I'll give the story away! However, I strongly urge you to read "The Thief" (the first book in this two-book sequel) before you read this story or else "The Thief's" plot will be totally given away - and after all, the plot IS the story. And, if you liked "The Thief" you will not be let down by this book.

"The Queen of Attolia" continues the drama of Eugenides - Gen - as he steals one thing after another, engages in a war, and makes his usual snide remarks and complaints, which somehow make you like him more than ever. Eugenides struggles with his emotions, fear, love, hate, pain; and he is faced with many decisions and dangers, and involves himself in risky plans and strategies during a war between the countries of Sounis, Eddis, the Mede, and Attolia that keep you gripping the book and wondering what will happen next. A spellbinding tale that has charm, adventure, action, a good plot, and (don't let this put you off!) a little bit of love. Do read this sequel, it's worth it.

My Favorite submitted by www.net on July 23, 2018, 3:58pm I have read the whole series, and I find myself reading this book and The King of Attolia again. I greatly prefer them over The Thief. I am a fan of all the plot twists and politics in this series, even after having read the book before.

Solid Second Installation submitted by renarde7 on June 11, 2023, 11:38am I really enjoyed The Thief. As a fan of historical fiction and fantasy, it was a great combination of the two.
The Queen of Attolia took some time to grow on me, but once it did, I was hooked. The second half of the book has some great twists, and I look forward to getting my hands on the next novel.

This is where it really gets going submitted by savannahwhaley42 on August 2, 2023, 3:31pm this is where the series really picked up for me and it only gets better from here. the queen's thief is one of my favorite series of all time and this book is a solid entry in an excellent narrative arc.
