bibliofeel 's review for:

The True Queen by Zen Cho
3.0

It was good to slip back into the world of the Sorcerer Royal. Muna, without magic, must find a way to save her sister Sakti from the Fairy Court and convince the English magiciennes Henrietta and Prunella to help. Cho is an incredible writer, and I enjoyed the time and space that the women in all the settings (England, Malaysia, and Fairy) are given in the story. The plot was surprisingly predictable, despite its uniqueness, which was a bit of a disappointment. However, it's so nice to read a historical fantasy featuring women of color. And the female romance subplot was refreshing, too.
