5.0

I loved this book. I am currently in a reading slump and found it hard to get through because of that, but it was an amazing book. I want to reread it when I have the energy.

I love how the chapters were divided with the current timeline and flashbacks. It was beautifully done, with interesting storylines throughout. I also love how well-rounded all the characters are
Spoiler and In-yo? Incredible. Fascinating. I love how all her plans were so subtly mentioned that if you weren't paying attention, you would miss them. I love inferring things from a text rather than being told everything I need to know. AND THE DAUGHTER REVEAL???? I LOVED THAT SO MUCH. The fact that the text starts and ends with the new Empress but now we can approach the current timeline with much more wisdom than when we started?? How current events shift with context?? How appreciation changes when faced with the facts??? Absolutely fascinating.


I would buy this whole series 100%. Loved this book and cannot wait to read the next one :)
