The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner

5.0

4.5- Phenomenal! I loved this book installment much more than the last one, though there were parts that remained confusing by the end (namely the romantic subplot that honestly came from nowhere, despite the authors attempts to convince us otherwise). I will say that this book hurt a lot more than the last one - Gen’s painful torture and it’s aftermath (ah, the aftermath) were difficult to read. But this book managed its characterizations in a wonderful yet surprising way, refusing to apologize for the actions of its characters yet managing to make us root for them regardless.
