acardattack 's review for:

The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner
3.0
adventurous dark fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Slight disappointment, but not a bad book none the less.

I enjoyed the first book for what it was.  It was easy and fun adventure.  I wasnt sure if I would read the next book, but enough reviews said the series gets more political and darker.  It does, and I typically enjoy that stuff, but I really dont care about the characters.   Gen goes through some development and we learn more about him, but I never felt attached to him or either of the Queens we meet. Just kind of meh.  

It's well written and others may enjoy it, but it didnt do enough for me to continue on after this book
