4 stars
An empress in exile, a handmaiden sold off by her parents, and a cleric who must unravel their story.
At once subtle and forceful, this story explores themes of revenge, resistance, and resilience.
Beautifully written. The story unfolds at its own pace, taking its time. Honestly, despite it’s short length, it somehow didn’t feel rushed. The pacing really forces you to slow down. Vo makes every word count.
A fantastically powerful story. Will definitely be reading more in this series.
