queensthiefHey hey!
I've lurked this community for quite a long time - pretty much ever since I got King of Attolia a couple Christmases ago. But! I've never actually participated, or read posts in-depth, for precisely the same reason: I still had not read KoA. I kept intending to read it, and a couple times reread Queen of Attolia in preparation to do just that, but never quite got around to it.
No longer!
I am doing a proper reread of the series, book-to-book back-to-back. Very serious business!
That all said: I just (re-re-)finished The Thief today, and looking at it from a great deal older than I was when first reading, I am still very impressed. Parts that I remembered fondly from ten years ago are just as good now. And knowing precisely what to look for, I was able to appreciate all the little double-agent things Gen does and says and enacts. Book still made me laugh, too, and that's something.
So that's my little intro; not much else to say except that I look forward to actually being able to participate in posts instead of scrolling by them so as not to be spoiled for anything.
:D
TL;DR: Hi guys! I will be a nonlurking member of this comm one of these days!
