well that is a little disappointing because that's one of the books on my list to read next year, though I've mostly heard mixed things about it--I bought the book for like a dollar from Goodwill, so no big loss.
ANYWAY THE QUEEN OF ATTOLIA so I read it for the first time when I was thirteen and I enjoyed it and then six months later I picked it up again because I liked it and it's just--the book I want to write. It's got political intrigue and really delves into what it means to be royalty and rulers and the responsibilities and prices you pay for doing it, while still being people, and it has understated romance and the language is subtle and plot points hinge around the placement of commas and even its imperfections are familiar to me, because I love this book. (And it plays around with names and naming! And gods! And and and. MWT is my hero.)
(a squee on Attolia herself would probably break the length limit for comments.)
