The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner

Summary (via the author's website): "The strong-willed queens of Attolia and Eddis maneuver for power and to protect their lands in this fast-paced sequel to the stellar Newbery Honor Book The Thief. Eugenides, the Thief of Eddis, has always been able to break into any locked room or guarded palace to spy for this queen, but as this novel opens, the gods turn against him. The Queen of Attolia seems to have ruined his life, yet a plot twist sets the obvious on its head and leads to an unexpected conclusion. Scheming, spying, thieving, and fighting fill the pages of this cleverly plotted, enjoyable tale."

Review: "Does anyone remember that thing about in Graceling? About Leck? No reason...
Anyway, um, HOLY character development. Am I in love with Eugenides? No, because I think he's a little (maybe a lot?) too young for me. But if I were 16, I sure would be."

Goodreads Shelves: addictive, bechdel-test, fluffy, funny, nook-ya
