"The Thief"の続編です.内容はずっと重いものになっていますが,一気に読めました.毎日読み返しています. 文章は抑えられていて感傷的にならず,登場人物たちの表に出さない感情は,言葉の端々や行動の変化から読み取れるようになっています. 最初は主人公の魅力やストーリーに惹かれて読んでいたのですが,次第に登場人物たちが持つ思想や信仰の形,神々に対する主人公の「祈りをささげはするが,いちいち願い事をかなえてもらえると思っているわけではないし,支配されるつもりもない.自分の選んだように行動する」といった態度が好きになっていきました. 神話で語られるような神々が実在する世界ですが,奇跡によって都合よく救われたりしない,どこまでも人間の物語です.

L'oeuvre en elle même est une pure merveille. Un 2e tome époustouflant qui, dès les 3 premiers chapitres, annonce clairement la couleur : ici tout peu arriver et personne n'est à l’abri. Surtout pas notre précieux voleur. Megan Whalen Turner a su créer un monde complexe et si le premier tome ne faisait qu'introduire le décor, ce 2e tome entre dans les intrigues politiques et économiques régissant le monde et dévoile la finesse avec laquelle l'auteur a pris soin de polir son univers. Le tout épaulé par un héros hors du commun qui est un aussi fin stratège qu'une intéressante pièce d'échiquier à placer avec toute les précautions. C'est très étonnant qu'aucun éditeur ne se soit pencher sur cette merveille. Définitivement une pure merveille. Dommage par contre qu'Amazon ne sache pas prendre soin des objets qu'ils livrent. Celui là comme bien d'autres est arriver corné et non protégé dans un vulgaire carton. Lamentable.

I don't think Queen of Attolia was as good as the first book in the series but I still enjoyed it. Right away you get sucked into the book as Eugenides is trying to run away from the queens guard. I was pulling for Eugenides to escape the entire time, because Eugenides always escapes! But this time he wasn't as lucky and he is capture by the Queen's guards. The Queen, angry by Eugenides always sneaking into her castle, takes matters into her own hands and cuts off Eugenides right hand so that he would never steal again. When Eugenides is sent back to his queen, the plot began to slow down for me. I began to get disinterested as there were many long paragraphs describing what was going on with Eugenides and not enough dialogue. I began to be disappointed by the book. But the ending of the book began to pick up again and got my full attention once again. I liked the ending, and of course, like the previous book in the series, it caught me off guard once again with a twist in the storyline. I enjoy the way the author writes and I am already off reading the third book of the story.
