Explanation As Books The Queen of Attolia (The Queen's Thief #2)
RevengeWhen 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...

Just like the first book in the series The Queen of Attolia was a decent old school coming of age YA fantasy story. The world was heavily inspired by Greek mythology. Even to the point of sharing some of that same mythology! The story mixed action, political intrigue, and adventure but ended up being told at a fairly sedate pace. The plot and story in this sequel was engaging enough. Gen has gained a bit of fame after his exploits in the first book but he needs his wits as well as his spying and2.5/5 StarsWell, I gave it a go and continued on with this series, with the hope that my 3 star rating for The Thief would be higher with this second novel. Heck, I expected a higher rating, because people kept on telling me, "The second book is loads better!" And? Was it? Well. To me, sorry to say, but it really wasn't. So, I guess I'm in the minority, once again.What the first novel in this series had, that The Queen of Attolia lacked, (to name a few) were: lively characters, an exiting
And the read-along continues,After the events in The Thief. I felt detached someway with the series, but as like I always do when a possible slump is coming up, I would read reviews or spoil myself with the book I wanted to read. I succeeded in that order. I may, umm, have peek into the last page of The Queen of Attolia. AND, PHEW, AM I SHAKEN. GOOD. To pick it up and finally be up to date and ahead of the read-along group. Sorry, I am not sorry.The world building has expanded more, which made
I have such mixed feelings about this book. I can't deny that it's an amazing book, but at times, I just wanted to throw it away and howl in frustration -- not because any of the characters were misbehaving, but because of the twists and the turns and all the bad things that I don't like happening to anyone. I think I should never write a book, ever, because I hate doing unpleasant things to my characters, and as for killing off characters I like -- forget it! The Queen of Attolia is one hell of

$1.99 Kindle sale, Feb. 10, 2019. This is the great but hard-hitting sequel to The Thief (which, fair warning, you absolutely need to read first). This is a fantastic fantasy series, with a strong flavor of Ancient Greek mythology and life. The gods are real and they care, in a remote way, but they can be cruel. My highest recommendation for this series! If you havent read it, youre missing out!Review posted at www.fantasyliterature.com:Megan Whalen Turners The Queen of Attolia, the second book
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
