Songs of Insurrection by J.C. Kang
Good morning Reader today is my tour stop for dragonsongstour by caffeinebooktours huge thanks for them for providing me with a copy beforehand for my participation in the tour.
P L O T : Princess Kaiya’s voice could charm a dragon.
Had she lived when the power of music could still summon typhoons and rout armies, perhaps Cathay’s imperial court would see her as more than a singing fool. With alliances to build and ambitious lords to placate, they care more about her marriage prospects than her voice.
When members of the emperor’s elite spy clan-- Kaiya’s childhood friend Tian and his half-elf sidekick (or maybe he’s her sidekick?)-- discover mere discontent boiling over into full-scale rebellion, Kaiya must choose. Obediently wedding the depraved ringleader means giving up her music. Confronting him with the growing power of her voice could kill her.
R E V I E W :
• The Female Protagonist ✅ :
First things first, kaiya is so amazing I love her c'mon. I'm a sucker for badass female characters and yes she is everything I love.
• The Representation ✅ :
How often is that we come across Asian Representation in a fantasy book? Very very rare and yes we've fantasy reps that made this book more special for me.
• Spies and Court Dramas ✅ :
Court dramas with spies working underground unraveling mysteries and imperial court drama oh yes I'm here for it.
• Discovery of Our Own Power ✅
I love how Kaiya who was unsure of her own strength slowly discovered the power that lies in herself. Slowly growing confident out herself yes!
• Vivid Description of Scenes ✅
The writing style and description of places blew me away. It was so good, not too much, nor too less, just the perfect amount a reader needs to imagine scenarios.
