Teaser Tuesday: The King of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner

Finally, finally I am getting around to reading the next book in The Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner.

My teaser comes from page 1, mainly because I have literally only read that first page. Doesn't stop me from being excited at the prospect of reading this book!

Costis couldn't explain his actions. He rubbed his face with his hands and tried again to conpose his anguished thoughts into cold words and orderly sentences.
I liked the first book (The Thief) a lot, and really, really liked the second book which is The Queen of Attolia, and I have high hopes for this one!

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. Head on over to find out all about it, and how to join in!

  3. I loved the first three! The Thief was my favorite...I think because it introduced such wonderful characters.

    It surprises me that more people aren't aware of her books; I think they are far better than some of the most popular YA fantasy. My library doesn't have any in the YA section!

  5. I read this book a while ago. I have book 4 on my TBR stack because I want to read the first three again before I get to it. I just feel so guilty when I stop to re-read though. My teaser is from Infinite Days by Rebecca Maizel. Happy reading!
