The Girl King by Mimi Yu

You can see my full review here!
*I received an eArc of this book from the Publishers through Netgalley in exchange of an honest review*
This was a struggle to get through. I mean, this had everything that would appeal to me and still managed to fall flat?
Because nothing really happens. Pacing wasn't an issue- I flew through it with ease, but not only is there no real sister conflict that I was promised, I'd have to wait until book two to actually get what I was looking for.
I will say the imagery was pretty nice. The descriptions were easy to visualize and even when the characters are running for their lives, the scenery wasn't lacking.
The information being revealed felt unfinished and not in the sense of come back on Tuesday to see what happens next episode. I ended up unsatisfied with the twist when they were revealed.
I could mention the characters, who were lack luster, the romance that I won't call a romance because bullshit, the villain who I guess I can get behind if I'm reaching. But again, nothing happens. I was just let down.
01/07-- I didn't *hate* this but... this was not fun.
