"Backlists are great but time-consuming" is a thing I'm maybe going to cross-stitch on a pillow so I'll never forget that it is true. Luckily it's fairly rare that I'll so love an author I want to go back and read their full backlist.
The Queen of Attolia is indeed 200% better than The Thief. And The King of Attolia is again better yet for me. It's still a book full of smart people solving complicated problems, but it's also (in my opinion) getting you a scootch closer to what the characters are feeling. Gen's so cerebral that it's hard to connect with him as a narrator. The narrator of King of Attolia feels a lot of ways, bless his baby heart.
