An excellent sequel to
The Thief,
The Queen of Attolia is exciting and
more fast-paced than the first book. It was still somewhat slow for me
at the beginning, but the pace soon picked up and raced to the end. It
is a darker book than the first one; there is a bit more violence, and
at times it is unsettling. There is plenty of political maneuvering,
intrigue, back-stabbing, spies, and conspiracy to keep it interesting,
and I never knew which way things would go. After having experienced the
twist in book one, I expected a similar event in book two, but was
completely taken by surprise when it happened. I truly did not see it
coming. Now I cannot wait to read book three because I have no earthly
idea how it's going to go!
You must read this entire series and
do not read any of the summaries, lengthy book reviews, or even the dust
jackets of the books. It would be so easy to be spoiled. And trust me,
you want to enjoy the surprise of these fantastic books! This one gets four stars for me, just short of five because I felt the beginning a little slow to start.
Get
The Queen of Attolia on Amazon.com.
