Summary: The work of a great author - and a very cunning plot!
Comment: "The Queen of Attolia" is a great book. It is true, however that this story is slightly darker/less pleasant than "The Thief," but it is still one of the better books that I have ever read. I find it difficult to write a review on "The Queen of Attolia" because it has so many little twits and such a clever plot that if I am not careful I'll give the story away! However, I strongly urge you to read "The Thief" (the first book in this two-book sequel) before you read this story or else "The Thief's" plot will be totally given away - and after all, the plot IS the story. And, if you liked "The Thief" you will not be let down by this book.
"The Queen of Attolia" continues the drama of Eugenides - Gen - as he steals one thing after another, engages in a war, and makes his usual snide remarks and complaints, which somehow make you like him more than ever. Eugenides struggles with his emotions, fear, love, hate, pain; and he is faced with many decisions and dangers, and involves himself in risky plans and strategies during a war between the countries of Sounis, Eddis, the Mede, and Attolia that keep you gripping the book and wondering what will happen next. A spellbinding tale that has charm, adventure, action, a good plot, and (don't let this put you off!) a little bit of love. Do read this sequel, it's worth it.

Summary: Another excellent book from Ms. Turner
Comment: After years of waiting, Ms. Turner has finally written a sequel to The Thief! You thought Gen was finished with his sneaking around? Think again! This time he's been spying on the Queen of Attolia (you remember how pleasant she was in the first book?) and he's caught in the act. When the unthinkable happens, Gen must learn to draw on new reserves of courage and strength...and he rises admirably to the challenge.
Ms. Turner develops her wonderful characters even more, and elaborates on things from the first book. Gen is delightful as always, a sweet and tragic character as well as a smart-alecky dare-devil.
I highly recommend this book, and its prequel (The Thief - a Newbery book). I am looking forward to the promised sequel.

Summary: The Queen of Attolia
Comment: Hi! I consider myself a veteran of fantasy books and this is one of my favourites! I can reread this a thousand times: you always discover things you missed out before every time. It's basically about the thief's further adventures and more of his private life. I loved the description of how he got the whole palace coming for his blood and all. The Queen of Attolia was a flawless character in this book, how she was so fearless and scared of the world at once...a priceless jewel!
