A review by oncebeloved
The Lotus Empire by Tasha Suri

2.5

Hmm... This felt rushed. It really could've benefitted from an extra hundred or so pages. Rao goes off on two separate side quests which last maybe a chapter each? The climax is split across multiple five-page chapters, making it difficult to ground yourself or get invested. The ideas are a great continuation and subversion of the previous two books, I just wish it didn't feel like the author had gotten bored of it.
