emtobiasz 's review for:
The True Queen
by Zen Cho
Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for an advanced readers copy.
This book was such a delight to read. I loved meeting Muna and exploring the worlds of Janda Baik, the Unseen Realm, and the newly-formed Academy in Britain. Like the first book, stakes felt high without diminishing the light and fun tone. None of the final reveal was much of a surprise, having been heavily foreshadowed (seriously, I've seen less explicit foreshadowing in the prophecies in a middle grade fantasy) but the journey was still enjoyable. I wish we had seen more of Zacharias and Prunella, and like the first book, the romance, while delightful, was mostly tacked on at the end. Still, I will keep reading things in this universe as long as Cho continues to write them.
