She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan
3.25
adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

the first and final thirds saved this for me but I found the middle third to be long and dull. I'm not a huge fan of political led fantasy so those elements really dragged it down for me. but the ending was enough for me to want to read the next book to see how it all ends.
