Book #29 of 2023. The Empress of Salt and Fortune by Nghi Vo.
A young royal is sent is sent south to wed the Emperor. This is a political move and soon all her brothers and armies are gone. She is lonely and alone but finds an unlikely ally in Rabbit. Rabbit is a poor girl who is sent to serve the emperor because her family cannot afford to pay their taxes.
This was an epic fairy tale set somewhere in Asia. The writing is beautiful; the characters are unforgettable and the story is amazing. I think this is an author to watch!
4.5/5
