Superficially speaking, this book's beginning premise is rather similar to that of The Goblin Emperor - mixed-race heir of an extremely powerful emperor, drawn suddenly into the complicated politics of the capital city without any sort of preparation. It's also similar in that it is SUPER DUPER UP MY ALLEY. Other than that they're pretty much as different as books can be? Which makes it really interesting to me that they are both SO VERY MUCH up my alley. I guess they appeal different parts of my id.
It's kind of hard for me to talk about this book because I took a two-month break from reading it halfway through. Not intentionally! I faithfully brought it in to work with me every day, to read during lunch. And every day during lunch I found myself choosing to find something to read online on my phone instead. IDEK, my brain is the worst sometimes. I was super enjoying the book and WANTED to keep reading it but there was some sort of block keeping me from continuing.
But I got over it! ....after enough time that I no longer remember much about the first half of the book, whoops.
But that's okay; I remember loving the first half, and I loved the second half too.
