A CONSPIRACY OF KINGS

I am currently reading A Conspiracy of Kings by Megan Whalen Turner which is the fourth book in her series Queen’s Thief. The first book, The Thief, fits a modification of the old saying “it takes a thief to catch a thief.” In this case the saying would be “it takes a master thief to steal a treasure guarded by many traps.” Gen is in prison because of his thievery, but is offered a pardon if he can steal a precious stone from a remote temple of the gods. Gen survives several deadly traps on his way to the prize. I greatly enjoyed this adventure and its sequels, The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia, so when I got a copy of the fourth book I wanted read it before I decided to purchase a copy for Lakeview. I have only just started the book but I can see that you do need to read the previous books to really understand what’s going on. Lakeview has all of the first three books in the series. Maybe by the time you have read those, I will have gotten a copy of book four for Lakeview.
