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.

 

series title

盗 神 伝

Toushinden

 

Legend of the Thief God


Edit: My first translation of Toushinden was slightly off being that my dictionary gave me the wrong meaning for one of the kanji. I have discovered that the kanji in this case means "thief" not "to steal". Legend of the Thief God is the correct translation.
