Princess Sun has finally come of age.

Growing up in the shadow of her mother, Eirene, has been no easy task. The legendary queen-marshal did what everyone thought impossible: expel the invaders and build Chaonia into a magnificent republic, one to be respected—and feared.

But the cutthroat ambassador corps and conniving noble houses have never ceased to scheme—and they have plans that need Sun to be removed as heir, or better yet, dead.

To survive, the princess must rely on her wits and companions: her biggest rival, her secret lover, and a dangerous prisoner of war.

Take the brilliance and cunning courage of Princess Leia—add in a dazzling futuristic setting where pop culture and propaganda are one and the same—and hold on tight:

This is the space opera you’ve been waiting for.

Not a bad book, but not for me

This started out well, but lost steam around the halfway point. Too many characters to care for any in particular, and I barely know enough to spot the obvious Alexander the Great "nods"(Boukepha­las, Sun's relationships with Hetty and Eirene) never mind the sly ones.

I felt it got bogged down by interminable "action scenes" described in excruciating detail, and I honestly just got bored. It's not a bad book, but not to my tastes and I read it during a period I needed distraction, not something I found myself avoiding picking up.
