jsant 's review for:

She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan
4.25
adventurous mysterious slow-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: Complicated

A queer re-imagining of the first emperor of the Ming dynasty in the 1300s. Beautifully and tenderly written, and the audiobook narration by Natalie Naudus perfectly brings it to life.
