mrnnbrwn 's review for:
The Queen of Attolia
by Megan Whalen Turner
I honestly don't know how Turner did it. I was seconds away from putting this book down and not finishing it because the beginning was so overloaded with political details and moping main characters that I wasn't interested. And then... something changed. About halfway through I suddenly began to care, to wonder what came next for our youthful protagonist. Similar to the Theif, the ending of this book delivered the happenings of this story on a golden platter, allowing me to see the story in a more positive context, giving me the impression that I was reading something much more valuable than I first thought. And while I have a bit of trouble buying into the romance of some of these characters, I MIGHT read the rest of the series one day.
