A review by kappareads
Empress of the World by Sara Ryan
4.0
My rating is somewhere between 3 and 4 stars.
So I'm probably very biased because this is the first good LGBTQ book I've read after a bad one, but I loved it. I loved the budding romance between Battle and Nic, it felt so natural. Plus, bisexuals!!!!
Reason why this doesn't go full 4 stars for me; the climax confused me, and Battle really doesn't explain herself. Really overall the second half is lacking, but the first half makes up for it. And I can't really fault this book for being written when it was, but you can FEEL it was written early 2000s by all the gay jokes, whether teasingly or made to hurt.
I just, really enjoyed this book, despite it's flaws and slightly cliche cast. It was good and thats all I can ask for from an early 2000s book about bisexual peoplwwith a happy ending
