The Scarlet Throne by Amy Leow

dark slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes

4.0

As another reviewer stated, this is definitely a book for those that enjoyed the end of R.F. Kuang’s THE POPPY WAR. I did feel as though Binsa did not have much substance beyond her ambition and need for revenge but this may have been done purposefully due to the character’s circumstances. I am very interested to read more about Ilam and to see where the author takes the story for the remainder of the trilogy.
