Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Turner’s storytelling is so sure that readers will want to go along with her—and discover whatever it is that Eugenides will do next.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A book to turn children into readers.” New York Times Book Review
“Complex characters and a complicated and sinuous plot, and references to gods and goddesses and their stories all enrich the novel, making the reader want to reread for all the details and resonances missed on the first go-round. This is a story to savor, one of those books a reader will race through to find out what happens, at the same time never wanting it to end.” VOYA
“Megan Whalen Turner proves to be one of the brightest creative talents. With each book, she continues to add new levels and new lustre to her sparkling imagination.” Lloyd Alexander, Newbery Honor winning author
“Megan Whalen Turner has constructed a clever world filled with suspense and intrigue and characters that will never be forgotten. Once you dive into the world of the Queen’s Thief [books], prepare to have your life stolen from you until you finish them all.” Joelle Charbonneau, New York Times-bestselling author, praise for the series
