A nice story about political plots in a fantasy world

5 stars

I really enjoyed Daugther of the Empire. I kept wanting to know more about the politics of this world.

A small negative is that the story is a bit predictable. I wasn't really surprised by anything that happened to Mara. But it didn't really annoy me, and the story managed to make me more interested in how things were put in place to get to the end result.
