It was good til that last-minute romance twist idk. Same as the first book where it's technically foreshadowed, but that twist was fun, and made sense with the story and why it was hidden from us. Going back to look for hints was something…

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, but I felt like this one was a little weird. The main romance doesn't really make sense, in my opinion. It was also a little depressing when the main character of book one was seriously…

Excellent follow-up to “The Thief!” Chock full of subtlety, political machinations, and surprising love. This one IS a bit of a tone shift from “The Thief,” comparable with the tone shift between “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of…

The first third of the book was good but didn't seem as interesting as the previous book. Then... the plot got better and better!!! No problem to give it a 5 * rating !

A sequel to the excellent *The Thief* -- and this is even better. Here the focus shifts to the court of Attolia, where the young but tough-minded queen has a tenuous hold on power. Some of her barons are plotting against her and she also…

These books are amazing! I can never see the plot twist coming. Never! Seriously, though, these books are some of the most interesting and riveting stories I've read lately. A definite recommendation for anyone 12 and up.

Pure perfection, this book. The writing flows smoothly, the story intense with multiple twists, amazing characters, great female rules, and full of wonderful descriptions for war, history and mythology buffs. If you like books like…

Loved it! It's every bit as richly complex and satisfying as before, if still a little confusing. I've fallen in love with the series and can't wait to read the next book.

After a slow and rather grim start the pace picks up and we get involved in the shifting sands of local politics. Our hero is actually more of a mountebank than a thief, but his ingenuity in playing the game of thrones is intriguing, as…

I loved this book as it was realistic and much more than a romance. Eugenides' punishment was perfect. I mean, I felt bad for him, but it was such a good way to grow the character of Eugenides as well as the Queen of Attolia. The politics…

Not knowing a thing about the story of The Queen of Attolia, I thought, based on the title, it might shift the story to her perspective and make her a more sympathetic, major character than she had been in the first book. Imagine my…

I have to say that it's tremendously tedious in the first couple of chapters, but after it picks up, it's really quite brilliant. The slap-in-the-face plot twist ending really made the book into something memorable. Great book! It's…

This is a book that can be enjoyed by teens and adults alike. It is compelling and clever without being unrealistic - which is rare to find in this genre. This series is a must read.

This book contains one of the most memorable love stories that I have ever read. Gen remains a sympathetic and entertaining protagonist and the political intrigue keeps the plot moving. I highly recommend it to adults.

This is well-written but the plot is grim, and even when things took a turn for the better I wasn't entirely convinced. A map would have been helpful for following all the military maneuvers.
