What a surprise, to start this book and find it is parallelling our political world so closely right now. A crazed emperor who kills everyone who speaks out against him. A regent scholar obsessed with being 'ten, no twenty times better' than a peer. Even an inexperienced, albeit young, boy takes over the throne. Is it just that autocrats look the same where ever they crop up? This one is very #makemordorgreatagain and I'm not sad about that at all
