The Empress by Gigi Griffis

4.0

I listened to the audiobook and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought the narrater did a fantastic job with this book. It was an engaging listen and I was rooting for Sisi and Franz’ love to win, regardless of it being initially disapproved of. I think love should always win and I felt their love as real, romantic, warm and intense. I’d be very happy to relive this book via paperback.

The book describes an inertia of some of the characters lives, seeking what’s missing and being desperate to fill that empty void with some rebellious callings. Even though their conscience is aware of what they’re supposed to be adhering to, they are determined to honour their true selves and calling. The dissatisfaction that resided on their hearts guided them, to pushing through and seeking a life with their true love.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and all involved in allowing me to listen to this wonderful audiobook.
