Megan Whalen Turner is a favorite writer for many, including Holly Black, who finds her work impossible to put down. Eugenides, known as the queen's thief, boasts he can steal anything, but his arrogance lands him in the king's prison with slim chances of escape. When the king's magus offers him a seemingly impossible quest to steal a legendary object for his freedom, Gen has no choice but to accept. The magus has his own plans for the king and the kingdom, while Gen harbors his own ambitions. Praise for Turner highlights her ability to inspire and awe. Laini Taylor admires the Queen's Thief series, while Leigh Bardugo describes her writing as vivid, immersive, and heartbreaking. Garth Nix calls her work endlessly entertaining, deeply deceptive, and clever. Cassandra Clare appreciates the blend of romance, intrigue, and beautiful prose, and Kristin Cashore finds the world Turner creates so tangible that she believes in its characters and gods. Through her storytelling, Turner captivates readers with a rich tapestry of adventure and complexity, making her a standout in the realm of fantasy literature.
