Whatcha readin'?

I just finished reading the first two books of a four book series. I liked the first book (called The Thief) very much- it was in first person, had a reasonable

amount of humor and was fairly interesting. Then I started the second book, The Queen of Attolia. My opinion of the author, Megan Whalen Turner, dropped in this

second volume. It started off well enough until I realized that the author had switched to third person. Personally, I don't think this should be allowed in a series. If

you start off in first person, you should continue in first person for the rest of the series. In any case, I was now unable to connect to the main character as well as

I could have because of the change. In addition, quite a few things that happened in the book I did not like, and once I had finished the ending (which in itself was

not satisfying), I decided to not read the rest of the series. This is just my opinion, and many people (including my brothers) love the books. All are welcome to

read them and enjoy.
