metamorphoses 's review for:
The True Queen
by Zen Cho
Content warnings : there wasn't much I think. People being eaten by monsters creeps some people out so I'll mention that.
3.5 / 5
Well, this one didn't work as much for me as Sorcerer to the crown. There was a lot of things I really liked about the story, especially the Dragons (I need a short story or even a full story just about them, pretty please??) and the (very) slow burn between the MC (Muna) and Henrietta.
However everything was very predictable and that's not always a terrible thing in a book but in this instance it got to a point where I was actually annoyed. It's not only that we, the readers, can guess everything it's also that we have the same amount of information as the MC. However she doesn't realize AT ALL what is happening, somehow. More than that she also has some weird notions and other theories of what' s happening but?? Those theories?? Don't make sense?? She literaly has no reason to think what she does and she still does it anyway and it's so frustrating!
There's also a miscommunication plot point in the love story that makes no sense. Because for Muna to think what she does she would have had to be there during the events of Sorcerer to the crown, which she deifnitly wasn't. So she has no way to know that this one thing happened and still it's the only reason why she would think what she does and of course her love interest ~~ never has the time ~~ to tell her it's untrue...
But anyway, this was still a very magical, really cool, super fun story with touching and lovable characters. Aside from the parts where I was annoyed by the nonsense and predictability I had a lot of fun reading this story.
