I ...I still laugh at how I encountered this series. I actually picked up The Queen Of Attolia first, got to a part that shocked me so much I put it down. I told my friend about this really shocking book, and she informed me that I had picked up the sequel, when I should have read The Thief first. One of the best choices I made was to follow her advice and restarted the series. Eugenides is one of my favorite characters of all time. I was stoked when I found The King in the library. I'm hoping for a fifth book to wrap everything together. King has to be my favorite though.10scheherazade01https://www.blogger.com/profile/05097204057646453790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18507492.post-58704767356360005362009-04-07T17:12:00.000-04:002009-04-07T17:12:00.000-04:00Jenclair, I'm so glad!

I have had <I>The Thief</I> on our family bookshelf for quite awhile now. I'm sure I picked it up at one of the book fairs at school during my Newberry Award/Honor glom. I recently took this one off the shelf for my YA Reading Challenge and only just now after reading your posts discovered it is the first in a series! I've recently come across wonderful reviews for the latter two novels which piqued my interest, but I had NO IDEA they were connected to <I>The Thief</I>! I'm so excited at the prospect of having this critically acclaimed series ahead of me! <BR/><BR/>I'm hoping to get my teen into it as well. Which, of course would then result in having the book passed among handfuls of her friends. I love that! :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18507492.post-12730726387294395062009-03-03T00:22:00.000-05:002009-03-03T00:22:00.000-05:00Thanks, Chelle.

So you could get the first two in at the library and read those and see if you're hooked. I kind of think you will be. ;)Angiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353676756221692186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18507492.post-49867305678265380202009-03-02T17:45:00.000-05:002009-03-02T17:45:00.000-05:00What I don't need right now is another book that I...What I don't need right now is another book that I *must* read as soon as possible. 'Course, I never take that into consideration, and I'll be reading this one as soon as it comes in for me at the library. Or is it one I'd be better off buying?
