A review by blackskymetro
Empress by Karen Miller

4.0

This book was a brilliant tragedy and I applaud Karen Miller for it. Hekat is a fascinating character to read, she has an amazing arc where she comes to be the most powerful person in her country. I personally cheered for her ascension, and then had a horrible pit develop in my stomach as I watched everything about her become corrupted.

Karen Miller showed that being a strong female character does not always mean that they are likeable at the end of their arc of development.
