A review by prettyflyforascienceguy
She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan

3.75

I think I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if I hadn’t already read The Poppy War. As it stands, the two share so many similarities that it was difficult for me to not compare one to the other. I prefer the Poppy War, but this book was not bad. 

My issues mostly came from characterizations. I didn’t really find myself loving any character wholeheartedly. I would also say the pacing of the middle of the book is lacking. I found myself bored from like 50% of the book through to 75%. 

The ending was great and did make me want to read the sequel, though.
