Hi!

Hi! I thought I would stop lurking around and introduce myself.  I got interested in The Queen's Thief books last year when we were taking standardized tests at school.  I had went to the library, saw the Queen of Attolia cover (The one with Gen and Attolia in the boat-hardcover) and checked it out.  I could hardly stop reading it after I started.  Then, I read The King of Attolia.  I was reading the KoA one day, and my friend had forgot her book on a test day.  We got in trouble if we didn't have a book (plus it was boring) so I told her to read QoA.  We normally don't agree on books, but she loved it, too.  I finished KoA, then she read it.  In the mean time, I got The Thief.  I love these books.  There is those huge turns that you don't expect, but when you look back, you see all of the little clues.  My friend and I talk about them almost constantly.  We can't wait for the new one.  Now, we are discussing the little clues  that we picked up here.  I thought it was time to join in the discussions.  I think I definietly missed out on some of the surprise when I read The Thief because I had read the other two first (I had found out about Gen by then).  Anyway, I love this community, the discussion is great!
