The Empress of Salt and Fortune by Nghi Vo

dark emotional hopeful mysterious reflective sad

5.0

This is a story of angry women. When Chih and Almost Brilliant arrive looking for stories of the old Empress, Rabbit is there, as she has always been, silent in both her loyalty and her suffering. Now, as a new Empress is about to take power, she is ready to tell her tale. The Empress of Salt and Fortune is clever and ruthless and full of hope for all the angry women in the world who have had to sacrifice so much of themselves for a world unwilling to change for them. This is a story of how angry women change the world.
