I haven’t read the first book in this series and I feel like I needed to, to get an idea about the world the author had built.
Starting The True Queen there was a lot of confusion. I didn’t understand what was going on or some of the references to things or characters. That made it hard for me to connect with the characters.
I found some parts on the story predictable and I figured out what was going to happen early on which was kind of a let down.
I found myself easily distracted by the story and I wasn’t fully immersed in the story.
I liked Muna’s and Henrietta’s friendship. I could see it blossom through the pages. I loved the banter they had going on. That was probably the thing that stood out to me.
Overall it was a ok book for me.

Charming and wholesome. I quite like this world, and the characters are just lovely. My only complaint is that the twist ending really wasn't a surprise to me, so the whole thing was just kind of waiting for the inevitable. But I still really enjoyed it.
This was completely and absolutely charming - really, a delightful read full of women with different aims and values and personalities, and some lovely magic that seemed very Diana Wynne Jones-ish, if Diana Wynne Jones had written books with more diverse characters. Loved it.
4.5 ⭐️ this is a highly underrated queer sapphic fantasy novel wtf I love it!!!! Zen Cho I love ur writing
An amazing book I loved the mix of regency and fantasy, I hadn’t read the first but wasn’t lost and now I need to go out and read it now. Well written, so involving I didn’t want to put it down.

I couldn't tell if the resolution to the story was supposed to be a surprise? Some of it was fun but other parts felt just like waiting for an inevitable realization on the part of the protagonists.
Such a good book, different from the first but in my opinion, much more interesting.
There is a lot more adventure and mystery, some twists that I wouldn’t have suspected in the beginning.
To top it of it is also wonderfully written. Would totally recommend.
