queensthiefRowana raised an interesting point below in that it seems that some readers "who were unsatisfied with The Thief love QoA, and perhaps vice versa." And although QoA and KoA have been described as being more similar in tone, I have seen that some people who were turned off by QoA were actually brought back into the fold by KoA. All of which brings me to the following questions:
1. Does anyone here have a preference (strong, slight or no preference at all) for one of the books in the series? If so, which book is your favorite?
2. Did you first discover the books as a young adult (teens) or as an adult reader?
3. Did you read the books in order?
4. Were you spoiled in any way prior to reading any of the books?
5. Have you read the books more than once?
