Even though Forest of a Thousand Lanterns started out slow, I ended up loving it. I think it as a great origin story of the evil queen and I am looking forward to seeing what happens in the sequel which is supposed to come out this fall. I also liked that it had East Asian influences and has some Asian folk tales included in it.

I like getting to know Xifeng and her fight against the dark power she has inside of her. I loved her development through out the book and I can’t wait to see what she does next. I gave Forest of a Thousand Lanterns 4/5 Stars.
