I was incredibly excited to be approved for this ARC, as I loved reading Blood Heir! Red Tigress returns to the unlikely duo of Princess Ana and conman Ramson, forced to flee the cruel empress Morganya. Traveling across the sea to Bregon, Ana has one chance to try to gather allies for her revolution. But all is not as it seems, mysterious new characters complicate matters and her allies have not been entirely honest. As promises are made and friendships are tested, Ana must decide who to ally with and what type of world she will fight for.

Red Tigress is action-packed! Zhao’s description is lyrical and beautiful; it is a delight to read. I absolutely loved being back with these vibrant characters! Zhao writes such complex and strong characters, all faced with challenging obstacles barring the way. In Red Tigress, all the characters go through significant changes and must make difficult choices about who to trust to achieve their goals. At a certain point it becomes impossible to put this book down!

Red Tigress is a strong and compelling sequel that expands on the rich world-building, character development, and exploration of power and justice that began in Blood Heir. Zhao delivers a well-paced and exhilarating adventure. She also sets up what promises to be a thrilling finale to the series. I can’t wait to see how Ana’s story concludes and highly recommend you pick up Red Tigress! You won’t want to miss it. Thank you so much to Amélie Wen Zhao, Delacorte Press, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
