The Girl King by Mimi Yu
4.0
"You will address me as 'Empress' from now on."
I'm all for more asian representation in a fantasy series.
This was my most anticipated reads.
I love a sibling fantasy series.
This book was an enjoyable read but there were some holes that could be filled better.
I was excited that it is an asian inspired fantasy with culture and history however with the content of the book, I wish we got more than what we were given.
Considering it is the first book, it was actually quite a lengthy book but I guess it is understandable as I think its a duology.
I think the book was such a slow pace because of the world building it is trying to explain and the history and secrets behind all of it.
The character development wasn't much but it was fast.
I love all the characters, even the villains.
My favourite character has to be Nok. He is such a sweetheart but I know under all that he is a badass.
I am excited to see his character development as a shape shifter. I definitely need to see more action.
I love Lu too but I felt like her character development wasn't much. I didn't feel her strength as compared to her sister Min.
I am excited to see what Min can do for us.
I want to see more side character involvement and I definitely want to see more action.
I guess that is the unsatisfactory part of the book. The action wasn't much and if there was it feels too quick. One of the death of a character got me like WHAT THATS IT.
I want to know more about the secrets everyone is hiding.
"A girl who could be anyone. A girl who could be nothing at all."
