I wrote a brief review of The Thief when I first read it about two years ago, but now I’ve finally got myself together and read the rest of the series, I’m going to write a review for all of them at once. Because although there is not huge amounts of action in the series, Megan Whalen Turner just does character-driven fantasy novels so well that I was consistently overwhelmed by how much I loved these books and characters. So, on the face of it, maybe you’d have thought that me and this series wouldn’t get along either. If you’ve followed my reviews at all on Goodreads, you will know that books that don’t contain a lot of action and me do not really get along. It was a kiss between a man and his wife, and when it was over, the king closed his eyes and rested his forehead in the hollow of the queen’s shoulder, like a man seeking respite, like a man reaching home at the end of the day. It was not a kiss between strangers, not even a kiss between a bride and groom. The king lifted a hand to her cheek and kissed her.
