The True Queen by Zen Cho
3.0
Rating : 2,5 ⭐
Like the first novel in this series, my favourite thing about this book was how the author managed to replicate the writing style of the regency era. Unfortunately, the rest wasn't as enjoyable. The plot was very predictable, and made even more predictable by the book's title. I wanted more of the commentary on gender, race and class that was so important to the previous instalment. I appreciate the same-sex relationships explored in this book, but I can't help but feel like the main couple's happy ending is a lot less satisfying than the ending of the first book. I'm disappointed I didn't have a better experience with this book, but at least I can say I finished the series.
