Shen Tao did her thing with this one. It had me locked in. Five stars! Keep in mind that she’s a debut author. I rarely read fantasy, but since three of my favorite mutuals were raving about it (Claude, Dre Reads, and Smitty), I decided to give it a try. And yes, they were spot on!
This is not a romantasy, and it’s definitely not predictable. There are dragons, and this book will take your emotions all over the place!
The Poet Empress is a dark fantasy about a teenage girl named Wei Yin who lives in a small town within a large kingdom. Her town is poor, and her family is struggling financially. In an attempt to help out her family, Wei enters a selection competition to become a concubine for the crown prince.
The whole time, there are rumors that the prince is a cruel and horrible person. Wei has to decide if the benefits of being with the prince will outweigh the consequences. Keep in mind that people are competing not only to become the next emperor, but also the next empress. Everyone in the kingdom is shiesty and lowdown. You can’t trust anyone.
There’s also a magic system that’s easy to understand. The characters basically have to write poems to cast spells.
This book kept me on the edge of my seat, and the ending is straight fire. I loved this book! Check the trigger warnings because this story has a lot going on.
