flowerranger 's review for:

The Scarlet Alchemist by Kylie Lee Baker
3.75
adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Overall lots of fun, the sinister fun. I love seeing Wu Zetians in books who are badass and unhinged. I care enough about the characters to want to read book 2. 
Wish the duck had played a bigger role, wish the romantic subplot had been more romantic, and seen more of the other important relationships being important, but it was overall enough and fun to read!
