Book Review By Liba
The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner

Eugenides, the Queen's Thief of Eddis is caught in the palace of Attolia, a neighboring country with a cruel monarch who cuts off the thief's right hand in revenge, sparking a war. The Median Empire sees an opportunity to gain more land, and allies itself with the Attolians, waiting for the moment they could sieze both Attolia and Eddis. Desperately, Eugenides and his country battle Attolian and Median soldiers, all the while formulating a plan to unite Eddis and Attolia forever and to kick the Medians out.
