I think the hardest part about the book is that I bought in so deeply to those early scenes, and that made shifting away from how the characters felt in that moment difficult.

There’s one scene that’s particularly awful. In terms of violence, the beginning is the roughest part of the book. THE QUEEN OF ATTOLIA begins with a pretty big bang, and right away I was carried off into all the politics and intrigue of what was happening. I remember the first book being a bit rough at the start because it felt like it took awhile for the story to get going. Martin.Ī bit more than a year ago, I finally read the first book in The Queen’s Thief series, THE THIEF, and I’m finally reading the second book. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Marie Lu, Patrick Rothfuss, and George R.
