megan whalen turnerAll across blog­land many peo­ple are dis­cov­er­ing what a won­der­ful writer Megan Whalen Turner is and it makes me happy inside when­ever I hear or read that some­one else has dis­cov­ered how awe­some she is. Well, Fic­tion­wise has all three of her books in dig­i­tal form: The Thief, The Queen of Atto­lia and The King of Attolia.

The sto­ries all fol­low Eugenides, a young thief of Eddis who brags that he can steal “any­thing.” The sto­ries rely heav­ily on myths and leg­ends and is set in a myth­i­cal land­scape sim­i­lar to ancient Greece. As the sto­ries progress, so do the char­ac­ters, who grow and change with each book. Eugendies is smart. As well as cun­ning and clever. He also appears unas­sum­ing. I love him (clings).

the Thief Original Cover by Megan Whalen TurnerThe sto­ries also have a sweet and yet sub­tle romance that begins in The Queen of Atto­lia. These sto­ries can be best char­ac­ter­ized as his­tor­i­cals with fan­tasy ele­ments. I love the heavy polit­i­cal intrigue and sus­pense that’s within them. I think they are the strongest parts of the story. There are plenty of sur­prise twists and turns to keep you on your toes. Have I con­vinced you yet?

So go forth and buy! The ebooks will be avail­able on Sep­tem­ber 22. Yes, that’s tomor­row! I have no finan­cial stake in this or for that mat­ter, any book that I pimp on this blog. I pro­mote heav­ily any story that I think is worth your time. Worth you check­ing out. So check them out! This author’s writ­ing just blew me away. Edited to add: Yes, all of these three won­der­ful books are still avail­able in print as well.

You won’t be sorry. And if you are, I don’t want to know about it. You will have to talk to the hand.
