The Throne of the Five Winds
The Throne of the Five Winds | S. C. Emmett
9 posts | 6 read | 17 to read
Two queens, two concubines, six princes. Innumerable secret agendas.A single hidden blade. The imperial palace -- full of ambitious royals, sly gossip, and unforeseen perils -- is perhaps the most dangerous place in the Empire of Zhaon. Komor Yala, lady-in-waiting to the princess of the vanquished kingdom of Khir, has only her wits and her hidden blade to protect herself and her charge, who was sacrificed in marriage to the enemy as a hostage for her conquered people's good behavior, to secure a tenuous peace. But the Emperor is aging, and the Khir princess and her lady-in-waiting soon find themselves pawns in the six princes' deadly schemes for the throne -- and a single spark could ignite fresh rebellion in Khir. Then, the Emperor falls ill -- and a far bloodier game begins... The Throne of the Five Winds is the first installment of the Hostage of Empire series, an intricate and ruthless East Asia-inspired epic fantasy trilogy perfect for fans of George R. R. Martin, Ken Liu, Kate Elliott, and K. Arsenault Rivera.

If the slow burn of political machinations amongst a royal family with too many wives, concubines, and sons (as well as the subtle & ongoing maneuvering for power and control amongst the women who have few other means of expressing power since they are cloistered away) is your thing, you‘ll love all 600+ pages of this book. It‘s well written & filled with all the danger, intrigue, backstabbing, & betrayal you might hope for. Slow but entertaining.

Diving into another chunkster for no particular reason other than it is what I grabbed first. I‘m about 70 pages in and so far it‘s a lot of set up and introducing new characters but it‘s done well and I‘m enjoying it so far.
