Empress / Riven Kingdom


Empress
4/5
The first book in this trilogy was interesting, the story of a slave risen to become "Empress". The book is written without judgment of the society it portrays. The religion is dark, violent, and obsessed with blood, but the people worship sincerely. A fascinating idea, a "righteous", chosen people, chosen by a dark god.

Riven Kingdom
2/5
The most disappointing second book I have ever read. A simple Princess seizes her inheritance from grasping uncles story.

p.s. started this post back in April
