Megan Whalen Turner's A Conspiracy of Kings comes out this Spring. I am DROOLING with anticipation and plan to block out a whole weekend to do nothing but re-read The Thief, The Queen of Attolia, The King of Attolia, then read A Conspiracy of Kings, and then maybe re-read all 4 again.
And I happily note that someone, in anticipation of this event, has given Megan Whalen Turner's website a bit of an update.

Anyway, if by some chance you haven't read these and you like twisty, well plotted, beautifully characterized fantasy novels that are generally appropriate for children but absolutely deliciously chewy enough for adults, you should probably read them. Then you can join me in anticipation of the 4th. I warn you that, if you think like me, you may be temporarily tempted to throw book 2 into a wall, but that is ok - it totally earns the things that seem so wall-banging about it, and then that sets book 3 to be doing the same thing to reader that it's doing to the main character, which is just a fabulous trick indeed.
