Red Tigress

Great condition! No damages and shipped quite quickly!

It’s something to read. The end of the series seemed rushed at the end

As much as I liked the first book, I feel like this one is much better. It uses its tropes much more effectively. The story pacing is the same, so, consistency! Yay! Wish I could do that! I'm trying to figure out the exact wording to compare this book to the first but I think it's important to make the comparison. Part of me wants to the say that the first book had a somewhat generic feel to it, but that doesn't feel right because it was a very fun book with a really neat story, but I'm going to go with that, but the writing didn't have an unique feeling to it that specifically told me that this is Amelie Wen Zhao's book versus thirty dozen other books. This one doesn't have that feeling. Only one person could have written Red Tigress and that puts me in mind that the first book was being...safe. The writing in Red Tigress is a lot more confident. It's hard to say that it makes this book more engaging because the first one was also very engaging.Now, a bit of comparison to series books. It's been popular to write books in multiple parts in recent years. They're everywhere and it's actually really hard to find a fantasy book that's just a story. No, "To be continued..." BS that's very offputting. This is where I get into the spoiler. I'm not going to describe the scene, or any aspect of the book, but this is definitely a spoiler that could ruin it for some people, so stop reading if you're the type of person who can't read a book once you know anything significant about the ending..............SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILERWhat happens so often in these series books that makes me avoid them so much is that Book 1 ends in a major defeat for the hero, which absolutely happens in Blood Heir. Book 2 ends in a major defeat for the hero and so on and so forth. It's annoying, and that doesn't happen Red Tigress. It's hard to say that the ending is a win for the hero given what happens to her, but it's definitely a major victory for her and everyone she's close to. This is something authors don't do in their series books, and it shows, I feel, a lack of confidence in their story. In series books, so often, the protagonist has to keep losing, losing, losing until the last book where they are finally allowed to win. For Red Tigress to end on a clear victory for the protagonist, regardless of what she loses, really shows that Zhao trusts her story to stand on its own, and it really makes me eager to read the third book, once I have the money to buy it.SPOILER END SPOILER END SPOILER END SPOILER ENDConclusion: I love this book, and am eager to read the next one, once I'm able to purchase, and I highly recommend the entire series based on what I've read so far.

After the events of Blood Heir, Morganya is empress of Cyrilia, and Anastacya is trying to survive. Anastacya is part of the former royal family, and she is determined to reclaim the throne. Meanwhile, Morganya is moving to cement her rule and wipe out those who would stand in her way. Anastacya's only choice is to pair with Ramson one more time. To obtain the forces necessary to vanquish Morganya, they must travel across dangerous territory to Bregon, a land where neither of them knows what awaits. Blood lies at the end of the road, but in getting there, will new evil be uncovered, and is Anastacya capable of bringing revolution to her people after all?The second installment of the Blood Heir Trilogy is here, and I thought it had some really great moments! The broken system and social conflict between Affinites and non-Affinites continues unabated as Anastacya seeks to reclaim what she feels is hers. She and Ramson are always great together, and it was much better with them reunited after the first part of the story. Bregon was an interesting new land to explore, and all of the primary characters undergo hardship before the climax. The ending is definitely a bit of a cliffhanger leading into the third book, as Anastacya, Ramson, and Linn all have important priorities before the next leg of their journey. I liked seeing Anastacya and Ramson become closer, and it'll be interesting to see where Amélie Wen Zhao takes them going forward. Red Tigress is an exciting, magical bridge of daring and adventure that is sure to thrill fans of Blood Heir, who I recommend it to.⭐⭐⭐⭐.5/5⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

When I open the mail bag, the cover was bent which makes a large crease. The condition of the book seems as if it is a second hand book. Disappointing. There was no damage on the sealed mail bag though.
