Lord of Emperors by Guy Gavriel Kay
4.0
Lord of Emperors continued the “unfinished” story of [b:Sailing to Sarantium|9746671|Sailing to Sarantium (The Sarantine Mosaic, #1)|Guy Gavriel Kay|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1459869341s/9746671.jpg|1336666]. The plot become more complex. Machinations and intrigues have taken a deadly turn. Naturally, I like it.
The only reason I wouldn’t rate this 5 stars was pacing. The first part was really slow. New characters were introduced, while there’re good scenes, it’s kind of bore me out. But, the last third, I couldn’t stop reading. It’s emotional, beautiful, and heartbreaking; the Epilog was painfully bittersweet. And the characters. This is one of few books where I actually care for ALL characters—and there’re lots of them. Even the ‘villain’. They’re just so damn good.
Overall, a wonderful book.
