The True Queen by Zen Cho
4.0
More Regency shenanigans from Zen Cho - such fun, with a healthy dollop of social commentary.
In The True Queen, Cho takes us back to Janda Baik where a pair of sisters have washed up on the island's shore. They have no memory, and no identity beyond their names: Muna and Sakti. Sakti soon shows a strong magical talent, while Muna is happy to work in Mak Genggang's kitchens. However, the girls soon manage to get into hot water, and Mak Genggang sends them to Britain to seek aid and shelter from the Sorceress Royal.
When I started reading I was a bit disappointed that we weren't carrying on with Prunella, but that didn't last long. Muna is fabulous, and I loved how her story unfolded.
