A review by coralinejones
The Emperor and the Endless Palace by Justinian Huang
3.5
"I pounded his pink plum." Is quite literally one of the silliest lines in a novel I have ever read.
I'm so conflicted here. Both entertaining enough, but also a bit disappointing. There was admittedly a lot going on between the three timelines and only two of the three were interesting to me. The smut felt purposeful to the story, until the very end at least, but the verbiage used was getting on my last nerve. "He wrapped his length around my influence." YOUR INFLUENCE?
I also wouldn't consider this a "romance" story by any means. Technically there's romance in here but it doesn't follow the genres typical heresay. Which is not necessarily an issue! But, again, the romance in this novel didn't feel like romance. Not to mention trying to follow along with who was who from the different timelines was not a fun task.
