I have such complex feelings about Empress of All Seasons. Torn between duty and love, loyalty and betrayal, vengeance and forgiveness, the choices of Mari, Taro, and Akira will decide the fate of Honoku in this beautifully written, edge-of-your-seat YA fantasy. As she struggles to keep her true identity hidden, Mari’s fate collides with that of Taro, the prince who has no desire to inherit the imperial throne, and Akira, a half-human, half-yōkai outcast. Mari is a yōkai with the ability to transform into a terrifying monster. And it would be, if she weren’t hiding a dangerous secret.
Mari has spent a lifetime training to become empress. All are eligible to compete-all except yōkai, supernatural monsters and spirits whom the human emperor is determined to enslave and destroy. Conquer Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Survive the palace’s enchanted seasonal rooms.
SummaryĮach generation, a competition is held to find the next empress of Honoku. Keep reading this book review for all my complex thoughts.
Do you ever finish a book and need more? Like want more answers? I so thoroughly enjoyed Empress of All Seasons, but by the end really felt like I needed more closure.
