 The King of Attolia
 The Thief The Queen of AttoliaGrrr, I don't think I can wait until February of 2006 for Megan Whalen Turner's forthcoming book, The King of Attolia, the third of her Attolia/Eugenities books that include The Thief (a Newbery Honor book), and The Queen of Attolia.
My sister stopped by today and had me surf the web to check out what The King of Attolia's cover was going to look like. All that did was whet my appetite, triggering my impatient desire for the upcoming third book. Both my sister and I love the cover art, and the matching new cover art for the earlier two books. I especially like the lighting and contrast on the upcoming book's cover. My sister lamented, however, that the new art was only available for the first two books in the new paperback editions, not in hardcover. I sympathized, agreeing with her fully. Some of the art on the older editions was less interesting, and in the case of The Queen of Attolia, the cover with the hand above a building, outright ugly. In the meantime, what will I do until February? Ug, I can't wait! | |
