Discover and rediscover friends old and new, and explore the inspiration behind Megan Whalen Turner's rich and original world. A stunning and collectible volume to return to again and again.

This collectible companion to the New York Timesâ??bestselling Queen's Thief series is ideal for longtime fans, as well as readers discovering Megan Whalen Turner's epic and unforgettable world for the first time.

The six novels in the acclaimed and bestselling Queen's Thief series are rich with political machinations, divine intervention, dangerous journeys, battles lost and won, power, passion, and deception. This collectible volume features illustrations and decorations throughout, illustrated endpapers, a stunning full-color jacket with embossed foil and gold stamping, a cast list, maps, and an introduction by the author.… (meer)

The short story collection set in the world of the Queen's Thief revisits some familiar characters and includes stories from their childhoods as well as giving more detail about what went on "behind the scenes" during the main storyline.

Though I wouldn't rate it as highly as the novels in the series, it was really fun to immerse myself in the world again, to get more of Gen and Eddis and Attolia, as well as some of the side characters (even if I'd kind of forgotten who some of them were). Interspersed throughout are illustrations by Deena So-Oteh and stories Turner tells of where she got her inspiration for certain stories or objects. ( )

All of the ephemera from the world of the Queen's Thief. It was lovely to dip back into that world for a few moments, but I think that the optimal time to read this collection would be immediately after finishing the series. It sometimes took me a minute to remember who certain characters were, or where in the story a certain story might fall. And, of course, reading this collection without having read the entire Queen's Thief series would be an exercise in confusion at the very least. It wasn't everything I might have hoped... so, so, so. What is? It's always wonderful to get even a fleeting glimpse of Gen, up to his usual shenanigans. ( )

These little stories, vignettes, and micro-essays are fun but do not satisfy as a whole. ( )
