Empress Game
Empress Game: The Empress Game Trilogy | Rhonda Mason
10 posts | 7 read | 9 to read
Power, grace, deadliness defined. Always cunning, endlessly victorious One seat on the intergalactic Sakien Empires supreme ruling body, the Council of Seven, remains unfilled: that of the Empress Apparent. The seat isnt won by votes or marriage. Its won in a tournament of ritualized combat. Now the tournament, the Empress Game, has been called and the women of the empire will stop at nothing to secure political domination for their homeworlds. Kayla Reunimon, a supreme fighter, is called by a mysterious stranger to battle it out in the arena. The battle for political power isnt contained by the tournaments ring, however. The empires elite gather to forge, strengthen or betray alliances in a dance that will determine the fate of the empire for a generation. With the empire wracked by a rising nanovirus plague and stretched thin by an ill-advised planet-wide occupation of Ordoch in enemy territory, everything rests on the woman who rises to the top.

I‘ve got reviews coming out of my ears this Sunday because they‘ve been building up 😹😹
The Empress Game is such a great read and I‘ve enjoyed it so so much. The setting, the characters, everything! It‘s perfect. My full review is live now on my blog alongside my Buffy review and you can find it now! If you‘re a sci-fi lover then you need to try this trilogy. #scifi #sciencefiction #theempressgame #spaceopera #bookstamums

Morning you beautiful souls 🖤✨

I‘ll be home this afternoon and I am so ready. I wasn‘t up for leaving the confines of my house this weekend at all — but, sometimes you got to do what you got to do. I intend to whittle my morning away with coffee and current reads (albeit not as cozily as this photo shows). Hopefully time for Home will come quickly 🤞 #currentlyreading #scifi #fantasy #spaceopera #theempressgame #bookstamums

Linsy Love that cup! 6y

We‘ve had such a lovely morning and now we‘re preparing lunch and playing dress up. I‘ve had lots of mail at home so Sunday night will bring book hauls galore! I‘ve even received a huge surprise package box from a unknown sender 🤔 #currentlyreading #scifi #sciencefiction #spaceopera #bookstamums

My evening is upon me so I‘m going to drink lots of coffee, read some more of my current reads and catch up on iZombie for the rest of the night. Self-care is always essential after a busy day! (Or anytime really!)

Enjoy your evening/night beautiful souls! 🖤✨ #titanbooks #scifi #sff #currentlyreading #theempressgames #bookstamums

IljaRianca I haven't watched the last season of iZombie yet... Couldn't get into it. I felt like they took it too far :( 6y
Sophoclessweetheart @JazzFeathers Sounds like a perfect plan! 👌🏻🖤 6y

Today‘s plan was morning groceries, cleaning through my bookcases whilst the little one went with grandma for a few hours, cook dinner for their return, then time with coffee and this amazing book. Plans change abruptly and unexpectedly so now instead I‘m eating chewit like sweets with little one whilst we have the serious discussion of which is better, drumsticks or fruit salad. 😹🤷🏼‍♀️🖤 #sci-fi #scififantasy

TrishB Definitely drumsticks 😁 6y
Sophoclessweetheart @TrishB My daughter certainly thinks so 😹😹🖤 6y

{#bookmail from @titan_books 🌻🖤}

A huge thank you to Julia and @titan_books for the early copy of Exile‘s Throne for review, as well as the prior two books in the trilogy. These sound and look extremely fun and engrossing, so much so that I hope you will forgive me whilst I neglect my other review copies and start these right away!? 🙊

Mehso-so

The author rushed the romance, didn‘t develop the world very well, and the characters had random emotional changes with very little explanation. Also, it really bothered me that the women warriors, supposedly superior to other cultures in this universe, where being barely able to function without their male counterparts. Too many plot holes, and poor character development. I will not read the next book. 2/6 stars. An easy read, but blah

I liked this book a lot. To me it reminded me of "Diabolic" by S.J Kincaid. 4/5 stars

As I read this I kept wondering what it reminded me of but never came up with an exact answer. It is fun and whooshes along like a roller-coaster. The premise of princesses fighting for the chance to be empress is hilarious. There are so many other things going on in this book too: espionage; betrayal; war-fare..it's very exciting!
