queensthiefHi, um... I read The Thief about six months ago and had to wait about four weeks before The Queen of Attolia was in the Library. I love all three books, especially the King. I finally managed to get my sister to read them and now she's (nearly) as infatuated as me. whenever I think of them, I get a huge grin on my face. They are some of the best books I have ever read. So um yeah, that's how I came to find this site.

There's only one cover for KoA, apparently.

Date: 10/27/08 07:07 am (UTC)I'm absolutely kicking myself that I didn't find this community earlier. I've been working my way backwards through the archives and there's so many discussions I would have loved to be in on.
*goes starry-eyed at the thought of a signed copy of QoA* I own the British version of The Thief and the paperback of KoA, and I'm trying very hard to get myself the British version of QoA. Probably I like it so much because it was the only one I knew about for years and years, but at the moment I can't find anyone in NZ selling it. Argh, I might have to get it sent from the UK as well.
Ok, before I stop inundating you all with old thread emails, can I ask one more question? What different editions of the books are there? I've been trying to work it out.
The Thief:
British cover with Gen in the cave
Old American one with an ugly Hephestia?
New cover with huge gift in hands
QoA:
Gen the rapist in a boat
Attolia holding the hook (I confess, I thought it was some kind of water jug)
Attolia in the torture chamber (British edition)
The Megaron with a giant hand
KoA:
Gen holding a sword (this cover has got to be the last word in awesomeness)
Sorry about the super-long comment! It got kinda out of control, so thanks for tolerating my dredging up old stuff... I promise I'll stick to (fairly) current threads from now on!

Other than that one, I think you got them all. Oh wait, have you seen the foreign language versions? the Japanese ones are beautiful. I think Megan has them all on her website.
I'd urge you to dredge up the old threads, but what's an even better idea is to post some of the older questions in new posts. There are so many new people and most of them probably don't have the fortitude to troll through the archives. But they probably have lots of great ideas and opinions. So I say, post away!
