The True Queen

Zen Cho

3.91 AVERAGE


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.

What I really like about Zen Cho is the dialogue and weird language games that come of moving lightly and sharply between language and dialect, and as a result I don't like this series as much, because the Regency-reminiscent posturing kills that. It's still a good little adventure story. Everyone has a good time. Occasionally the upper crust Britishness goes a bit twee, but it feels like you're in on the joke. It's not *as good*, but it's good.

EEEEEEEEEEEE
So dang good.

Ran out of time with the ebook. I don't know why it's so difficult for me to get into this book.

 The mystery was a bit obvious but I didn't really mind. It's good writing, I like the characters and the worldbuilding.

This was an absolute SLOG to get through. I don’t know what it is about it that just never really captured my interest. I had similar issues with book 1 but was drawn in by the promise of lesbians - which appears but as such a tiny footnote I can barely count it. Definitely has put me off this author
