A review by ielerol
The True Queen by Zen Cho

4.0

Every bit as charming and thoughtful as Sorcerer to the Crown. I particularly enjoyed getting more time to learn about Janda Baik and Mak Genggang, and getting an outsider's perspective on Prunella, who, while I liked her well enough, I found a little overbearing in the first book. Muna, being the quiet and obedient sister, could easily have been overshadowed by Sakti, but I'm very glad she wasn't, and I quite liked the way Mak Genggang points out toward the end the important way Muna's personality balances Sakti's. The plot revelations were mostly easy to anticipate, but it's not the sort of book I feel much need to be surprised by in order to enjoy.
