naankattai 's review for:
The Queen of Attolia
by Megan Whalen Turner
Two days ago I thought "Why don't I come back to this series for the first time?" (I haven't read past #3) and then an hour ago I exclaimed "NO!" out loud when I realised my library has a waiting list on the third book..... happy for you MWT but I'm furious!
I've tried to read so many books about politicking since I read this ten years ago and nothing has really ever done it as cleanly or held my interest so well. The expanse of the story and war, built on little pockets of family and love and duty. Just intensely good. I feel like I've been seeking for something similar ever since!
Also I remember loving Attolia and Eddis (total tangent, but I think these are the best fake kingdom names I've ever encountered) but this time Gen was... the love of my life. I love him, mom. And the romance is SO good. The little tells we get as to the scope and depth of feeling made me so giddy, especially because they're both also SO damn stubborn and clear-headed and blunt.
Anyway!! Maybe it's time to buy physical copies!!!!
