The conclusion to the Queen's Thief series, set several years after the previous books but definitely read them first - this references characters and events in all the previous ones. This book is told mainly from the perspective of Baron Erondites' heir, who is sent to the court of the High King as a young child in hopes that the Erondites heir can be raised loyal to the throne rather than to his grandfather. With the three kingdoms now united under the High King (the Annux), the united kingdoms face off against the final attack of the Mede Empire, while also dealing with more political machinations of Baron Erondites still out for power and revenge. An excellent conclusion to an excellent series which I will probably reread again at some point!

Could easily be referred to as “a walking guide of a fantasy Mediterranean region and its environments” and that is perfectly fine and delightful. I loved it.

I bought this book based on nothing but a recommendation from a member of a book group I am in. She said, "Hands down, this is my favorite series. Ever." Well, with that kind of recommendation, how could I not? I got about 3/4 of the way through it before I understood why she was raving. It's good. But the beginning is slow, the main characters are, quite frankly, unlikeable, and the plot isn't clear. It's the ending that you need to hang in for. Once I got there, I knew I would be reading book 2. And from what I hear, book 2 is better than book 1.

In the interest of not spoiling too much of the story, I will keep my description brief. Gen is released from prison by the Magus to retrieve an ancient treasure. Gen is a skilled thief, and joins the Magus and his …

In the interest of not spoiling too much of the story, I will keep my description brief. Gen is released from prison by the Magus to retrieve an ancient treasure. Gen is a skilled thief, and joins the Magus and his band of merry men on the quest, and with rotting in prison as the alternative, why not? Gen turns out to be as skilled a thief as his reputation states, and begins to earn a small bit of respect from the Magus by the end. Obstacles and treachery are at every turn, and it's a pretty good read if you enjoy YA fantasy worlds.
