Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Queen's Thief books awe and inspire me. They have the feel of a secret, discovered history of real but forgotten lands. The plot-craft is peerless, the revelations stunning, and the characters flawed, cunning, heartbreaking, exceptional. Megan Whalen Turner's books have a permanent spot on my favorites shelf, with space waiting for more books to come." (Laini Taylor, New York Times best-selling author of the Daughter of Smoke and Bone novels and Strange the Dreamer)

" A Conspiracy of Kings brings the sweetest, sharpest kind of reading pleasure. Megan Whalen Turner's books are pure joy." (Rebecca Stead, Newbery Medalist and New York Times best-selling author of When You Reach Me and Goodbye Stranger)

Slow Burn, But Good

This book starts slow, as most of the books in this series do. The story builds to a satisfying conclusion though!

A Conspiracy of Kings

Megan Whalen Turner has done it again. A Conspiracy of Kings is truly a masterpiece. The story follows Sophos, the heir to the kingdom of Sounis through a journey that changes the formerly innocent boy into a man with responsibilities and an understanding of the real world, while maintaining his sweet personality. The complex characters are what really brings the story to life. In many books the characters seem too perfect and unrealistic, but every one of Turner’s characters is complex and relatable, even the villains.

Truly a good book.

When I saw that the main character wasn't Gen I was ready to hate this, now all I can do is grovel and ask for forgiveness at my naivety. Although I do like Gen better I by no means denounce Soph as a bad character and would recommend this book to any fan of the series. I hope they are not prejudice against this book as I was and if they are, I hope this review will be helpful to them.

Amazing performance

Listening to Steve West's performance brings this book to life in a way that wholly completes it. The narration was as great as the book itself

Never a dull moment this book and the series

I thoroughly enjoyed this next book in this series. The author provides enough twist and turns in the plot with an engaging world that provides the perfect backdrop to this fantasy series. A great read.

Love this series!

Of the 4 so far this is my least favorite, but such a great series!

so so good!

so so good, Steve west is a wonderful narrator , and perfect choice for this series!!

Great performance

I’ve long loved this series - it has more twists than the road I grew up on, one of the curviest in the Appalachian mountains - and the narrator does an excellent job, including with the voices.

Right After an Author can't think of what else to

This is more of a spin off then really a part of the main story line. None of the major characters appear until the last couple chapters. The book lacked the flair of the others - it wasn't predictable but I never was really rooting anyone. It was more a very very long chase without a good feel at the end.

loved it

The storytelling is terrific. and the story inside story of this series reminds me of "the 1001 nights"
although i did miss Gen POV here...
