Books Like The Queen of Attolia

Read more

Steve West narrates Megan Whalen Turner's second Attolia novel with a measured quality that suits a book where the most important things are said obliquely or not at all — the 10-hour political fantasy is built on inference and implication, and West's voice holds the ambiguity rather than resolving it. Every recommendation here rates highly with readers, and the broader list is built entirely around that same pleasure: fantasy where intelligence and patience are rewarded more than action.
