The Girl King by Mimi Yu
2.0
This was sadly not for me. It sounded so good but mostly I was just bored.
We get to meet three main characters Lu, Nokhai and Min but Lu is the secret main main character who gets the most chapters. Sadly I did not connect to the characters at all, especially Lu who was so onedimensional in my opinion. The story centers on Noks and Lus journy through the country to get an army and let me tell you nothing really happens. Sadly I was just bored. I could not care less about the romance. The shining star of this book is Min (without her I would not have made it through). Her chapters (sadly not that many) were very interesting. This is a story I want to read about: girl gets pushed around by everyone, gets used for power, everyone thinks she is stupid and shy but girl gets tired of it (she reminded me a bit of Sansa Stark whom I love). Min gets the only character development I cared about in this book.
Sooo sadly not for me. But it was not badly written I think I just have to say it was not for me but for another person this could be a great book.
