Read this book in three sittings. Easy style of writing and found storyline interesting if not in depth. Characters were a little shallow

TOP 1000 REVIEWER
It is important that I review these two books together as the full story of Empress Wu cannot be told without them being read one after the other.
There is no other way to describe these two books, but to say they are sensational. Truly, I cannot stop raving about them.
In Book 1, The Moon in the Palace, we are introduced to a young, intelligent young woman named Mei from humble beginnings who is swept into the emperor's court as a concubine. There she must weave her way through a a maze of treachery by other concubines who are equally struggling to claw their way to the top.
There is danger, betrayal, enduring love, and plenty of intrigue and unusual circumstances around every corner, on every page. Book 1 hooked me with a powerful grip at the start and kept me engrossed until the fabulous ending. The best part is that I was thrilled that the story continued in Book 2, The Empress of Bright Moon. Beautifully described surroundings, fashions, and every day items add to the enchantment, bringing to vibrant life the Chinese court of the Tang Dynasty.
These two books have become some of my very favourite books, along with the author. I will be eagerly awaiting future releases. These are definitely 5 star reads!

An insight into ancient China and its complex hierarchy.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 March 2019Verified Purchase
A well written, exciting tale of ancient China. It’s complex hierarchy and way of life within the royal court. It fills your mind with pictures of how it must have been.
