1.5/5
Well I didn't actually finish this book. It had a lot of potential, but I got really angry with it maybe around a fourth of the way in because the main character is incredibly weak. Not weak as in all she needs is a little character development (although she could have used some) but weak as in the author made her spineless and obedient. From reading the blurb, it's pretty obvious that she and the emperor will fall in love. I was eager to see that relationship develop. Instead, our protagonist begins to fantasize him by the third night (the third night!) even though they have not had any conversations-- she just likes that when they have sex he doesn't try to kiss her. Honestly, the third night??? Her goal is to kill him, and by the third night she's already fantasizing about him??? So you could say this book wasn't for me.
Feel free to give it a try, but if you like females with a spine then this novel will not satisfy.
