Well- when I read "The Thief", I loved it - it reminded me of Renault, in a way - but I was astounded that it had been published as a children's book. There's nothing in it to keep it from adults. And I'd say the next two are definitely adult, or older teen, anyway. "The Queen of Attolia" is very disturbing, but I intend to reread it soon, in preparation for rereading "King". My sister owns all three - she's a huge fan.

And she would like to know: how does everyone know there is going to be a fourth book in this series? It seems complete to me! Great news, though, if there will be - both of us will want to read it right away.
