Review of 'Forest of a Thousand Lanterns (Rise of the Empress, #1)' on 'Goodreads'
I liked this book pretty well, but I think the publisher's summary made it out to be more than it really was. don't get me wrong. I really enjoyed the story. I thought it was beautifully written, but I didn't think the main ever was nearly as evil as the summer made it out to be. Even if she were more evil, she's got every right to be. She was treated like crap her whole entire life, and no one really loved her, or if they did, they ended up betraying her in the end. I did like the boy she loved though. He did constantly tell her that she was very much like her Aunt, which probably helped her in her later thought processes. I'll be reading more by this author of course, but I do also have to say that I didn't at all see the Snow White …
