Alternate Japanese Titles

[ninedaysaqueen.livejournal.com]

     Greetings fellow Queen's Thief zealots ( I'm new ). I was searching through the archives and noticed that there is a Japanese edition of the books. I went to the Japanese Amazon site to check them out, and I noticed they had alternate titles. Now, I am by no means fluent in Japanese, but I have been studying the language for several years and have acquired a working knowledge. I read that several members seem to own the Japanese edition so I thought a translation was called for.
     Be aware the three books were published over five volumes in Japan ( The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia having been split into two parts ). Well maintaining the alternate title of the American edition the split volumes have their own individual title.
     Please, tell me if you think these titles suit the books better or less.
    
P. S. : Fell free to ask any questions about the translation.

I came across this review today -

This is book 1 of The Queen's Thief series. This recommendation came from the girl working in the Y.A. section of the BYU bookstore, who impressed me with her expansive knowledge of the books in the Y.A. category, and convinced me that she is an avid reader. She claimed these were her favorite books of all time (but quite frankly she didn't look more than about 16 to me). She said that each book (3 in the series) has a complete story, but of course all tie together. She said that each book has some very cool and unexpected twists... oooooh.

*thinks this girl who looks to be 16 is a member of sounis, and one of those with strong feelings re: OIL vs ACRYLIC*

just sayin'
