The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner

5.0

I just finished this novel a day or two ago and really enjoyed it. Gen was a compelling and nuanced character in The Thief but even more so in this second novel of the trilogy. I don't want to say too much because it would spoil the surprise for future readers. Suffice it to say that Gen's reaction to his tragedy rang true and it deepened my interest in him as a character. Ditto re the love of his life. Surprising, but intriguing and true.

Bravo!

I love the fully fleshed out alternate world that Turner has built. I love her strong women and her good thief.
