thejourneyist 's review for:

The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner
5.0

I don’t even know what to say…. I’m astonished at how beautifully Megan Whalen Turner writes and how effortlessly she manages to get me so invested! I feel like I know these characters and find myself talking back to the book as if somehow I can, in some way, affect the outcomes.

I was literally furious at one of the main characters very early in this book and no one could convince me this … could… ever….. ugh! Iykyk

But then… wow… what an ending and Gens description of the “stone walls getting thicker and thicker” and you get a glimpse of a great and inexplicable compassion that is something to behold.

I’ve got to reread these books eventually. I read this one more slowly just so I could enjoy it. I normally speed through my reads but this I had to savor. So good
