katemilty 's review for:
The True Queen
by Zen Cho
Really enjoyed the first Sorcerer Royal book — this one fell pretty flat. It followed a similar mold to the first: An adventure of a woman doing magic even though she shouldn't be, a brown woman in Regency England, no less! (This topic was a lot better done the first time around.) And a love story that emerges from nowhere at the end, except the first incidence of this felt demure/restrained in a silly way. This one really just drops in at the 11th hour and does not add much, which is unfortunate because, done better, it could have extended the themes of the first book in really interesting ways. Ah well. It was a quick vacation read, and I don't regret the time I spent on it.
