Customer Reviews

I didn't want to like this book! Let me explain...

So this book was recommended to me by my husband and I didn't want to like it...not because I knew I would like it but because I knew I would LOVE it. This is one of those books that when you understand the title of the book it is an absolute epiphany. This is a multiple prospective book that is done very well. You have an assassin, a monk, and a treasurer who's live are intertwined because they are siblings and the emperor is their father. How did he die? Who killed him? What will happen to the children? It's an amazing book!
