Peasprout Chen: Battle of Champions by Henry Lien
5.0
This review and many more can be found on my blog: Feed Your Fiction Addiction
In this book, Peasprout suddenly finds herself training for battle when the heir to the Shinian throne appears at her school and an invasion of Pearl seems imminent. Peasprout has to figure out whether or not to trust this new student while also sorting through her feelings for Hisashi—which is … complicated. Just like in the first book, Peasprout has a hard time trusting other people and tends to lean on her own abilities and judgment, but she does learn to put a bit more faith in Cricket when he proves invaluable. This book leans a bit more heavily on battle strategy than my personal tastes, but the creativity of the worldbuilding (wu liu is so incredibly unique!) makes it all a whole lot more interesting. And the ending of the book adds a twist that is absolutely compelling—I can’t wait to see where it all leads!
