applechai 's review for:
The King of Attolia
by Megan Whalen Turner
4.5 stars
I really debated on how I was going to rate this one. I liked the previous book slightly more, but that really shouldn't diminish the merits of this one in any way.
The characters are very clever. What I love about the series is that the competency of one character does not come at the expense of another. Instead you feel and understand the calculated thought put into every action, every word said, and payoffs feel rewarding as a result. You see characters at their lowest, but also at their heights, too. They feel exceedingly real and human.
I don't know how I feel about Costis yet (as the narrative framing device). I might have to come back to this review once I can put to words an articulate response.
