That lands him in the King of Sounis’ prison where he spends a couple of months until he is offered, by the King’s Magus, his freedom but in return he has to steal something that people don’t even think really exists. And it all comes down to one word: Eugenides. As I was reading the books, as the pages were being turned I had only one thought in mind: this is why I read. I now completely understand the fervor, the excitement that this series inspire. This is what I am trying to do here – although I am fully aware that so far, I only managed to basically behave like a fan-girl.īut it cannot be helped. The former would naturally lead to spoilers being revealed and since these books cannot, should not be spoiled, I opted for the latter by writing an overall review of the series, spoiler free. I knew I would have to review these books eventually, I had hoped to do so during this YA Month but I also realised that I had a decision to make: I could either review each book in the series separately or I could review the series as whole. I am totally, irrevocably, head over heels in love with this series.
From then on, I started to see more and more people talking about them with such fervor that I thought I should give them a try. This series came under my radar only recently when Angie from Angieville started to blog about the books with not a little amount of excitement. I experienced such rapture when I read The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss earlier in the year, and to my utter surprise and delight, again a few weeks ago when I finally read The Queen’s Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner. You know the ones: those that take over your heart and your mind, that even when you are reading you know that you are experiencing something unique, a connection with a story and its characters (that only serial readers can understand) those that you know will remain with you, forever. But it is rare, extremely rare, to read a book that falls in that category of Books for Life.
I am very careful with what I choose to read which means that most of the books I read, I end up enjoying at least to some degree. I read three to four books every week, sometimes more. It is safe to say that I spend most of my free time reading.
