The King of Attolia

I really don't even know where to begin with this review. There are so many things to praise: the author's flawless world building, the political intrigue, the brilliant, complex characters. This rich, complicated story unfolds perfectly upon every page, giving you enough information so that you understand the world without getting too heavy handed in the details. I loved the way this particular book handled POV: you felt like you understood as much about Gen as the people he became king of, and throughout the book you slowly see more and more of his true character come out. Loved. This. So. Much.
