Princess Sun has finally come of age.

Growing up in the shadow of her mother, Eirene, has been no easy task. The legendary queen-marshal did what everyone thought impossible: expel the invaders and build Chaonia into a magnificent republic, one to be respected—and feared.

But the cutthroat ambassador corps and conniving noble houses have never ceased to scheme—and they have plans that need Sun to be removed as heir, or better yet, dead.

To survive, the princess must rely on her wits and companions: her biggest rival, her secret lover, and a dangerous prisoner of war.

Take the brilliance and cunning courage of Princess Leia—add in a dazzling futuristic setting where pop culture and propaganda are one and the same—and hold on tight:

This is the space opera you’ve been waiting for.

A fun space opera

4 stars

I enjoyed this. A few times I found the writing a bit jarring: weird word choices, odd turns of phrase, but the story was interesting and the characters reasonably well defined. The best part of the book was the worldbuilding. I really liked the setting that Kate Elliott has created. There's definitely scope for more fun stories in this universe.

I will probably read the sequel or sequels but I'm not in a desperate rush to start the next book,
