The Thief Daughter Kingfountain Book 2 eBook Jeff Wheeler Reviews

This sequel to the The Queen's Poisoner, book 2 of the Kingfountain trilogy, continues the story, 10 years later. Owen and Evie have matured and taken up their roles in the aristocracy. This makes the book more political than the first, as a threat to King Severn comes from his past, or at least from tales told of his past.

The Thief's Daughter is not a bad book, but suffers from being the second book in a trilogy (making a charitable assumption). Many of the characters, including Owen and most of the women in the story, lose significant agency relative to the first book. I suspect in Owen's case this reflects plot elements in service to the arc of the trilogy, but it grated nonetheless.

My bigger criticism is that major developments, both of plot and character, happen out of Owen's (the sole perspective character) view. Developments that should have been shown were told, and often told too briefly for their impact on the story to be properly appreciated.

I still plan to read The King's Traitor, the conclusion of the trilogy, but with less enthusiasm for the prospect.
When I was a child, my brothers, my father, my friends, and I all read The Lord of The Ring. When my children were old enough, I indoctrinated them in the same pleasures. When The Lord of The Ring movies started coming out a couple years later, my middle school aged children, my young adult to middle aged siblings, and my father, as well as I myself, were all beside ourselves, just beside ourselves, when we realized that Peter Jackson was bringing JRR Tolkien's world alive on the silver screen. We've all been gamers when there's time and readers even when there isn't, and the one constant in our world the whole time has been that we share good books when we find them. Well, friends, the Kingfountain series was a find of mind and I'm very excited to be sharing it with my family and friends. The writing is excellent, the characters come alive, and the story is thrilling. The series starts with the early lives of significant people who have an impact in the flow of history and it builds from book to book, interwoven into a like tapestry. It's truly a pleasure to read. I can't recommend this book, this series, or this author enough. Enjoy.
Wow!

I couldn't seem to put this down, and within less than 24 hours I was finished. This is the second book in the Kingfountain series, and it does not suffer from the slump that many times can plague the middle book in a series. I was a bit hesitant when I heard that the book was staged 9 years after the previous novel. Would Jeff Wheeler be able to show a more grown up version of the characters that I had grown to love from the first book. I need not to have worried so. The characters seem to have matured well, and in a manner that is completely believable. They are not the same, and even though Owen, the main character, is not so shy, he still remains true to who he is. Even Severen, who I really want to hate, I find myself pitying him and his situation, even as he is caught up in his downward spiral towards ignominy.
You can see the history background in evidence as this book often will read like a historical fiction. Unlike many fantasy series there isn't some ultimate evil. There are a lot of people with differing motivators and life experiences and they interact in ways that are totally believable, even if we as an audience are frustrated by what they are doing.
This novel made me think on the motivations of others, on loyalty, on love, and on betrayal. It is a well paced story that keeps you strung along from one piece of action to the next with plenty of intrigue and even moments to just ponder on the implications of all that is happening. I am waiting expectantly for the next book in this series.
I have read almost all of Jeff Wheeler's series. This is definitely the best of them so far. Wheeler has earned a spot on a short list of authors, that I will pre-order all of their books, knowing that they will be well worth the price.
I like this book and I'm an avid reader, I'm 60 an have been reading books since I was 3, the only changes are my glasses...I love historical non fiction, try to find non biased also, I love Literature, I love DEAN R KOONTZ he turned me on to the non snooty books, I totally dislike Stephen king and I believe he's a serious head case with a grudge against children.

I like this book I like this author, he's original and you don't find that a lot. I read the last series and liked them very much and was surprised in places which is hard to do to me.

So if you want to read a book written by a person I'd do lunch with this is the guy...
What a wonderful action packed series!! I was a little saddened that Owen had grown up so much, but the adventure and peril proved to be all the more interesting. I also wanted to point out that this series has no sex or swearing in it, which is unusual to me, but the books are so well written that they don't feel lacking. There is still love, romance and hostility it's just clean, it was honestly refreshing. Anyways, the perspective is from the main character Owen. His age has increased from eight, in the first novel, to 17. He is the duke of his childhood estate and is "fountain blessed". Through the book Owen and king Severn try to thwart Severn's "nephew" from unlawfully taking the throne. Owens loyalty, integrity, self control and fountain blessed gifts are constantly tested, but through it all he prevails. Kudos to the author for conjuring up "being fountain blessed", the idea of random people being born with gifts that are replenished through corresponding personal idiosyncrasies is brilliant. I seriously love these books and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a hero who actually deserves to be idolized. Super excited for more!
Even better than the first. Can't wait for the third!
