Empress of All Seasons by Emiko Jean

2.5

2.5/5 stars
I was really unimpressed with this book. When I started, I was intrigued with the world and the rules in the society our main characters came from. It almost felt like a mix between The Hunger Games and The Selection. 

However, the pacing of this story was way too rushed! Each room for the seasons only lasted one chapter, maybe two for one of them, and I feel like we didn’t get enough details on what was happening.

Honestly, I felt like this should have been split and made a duology, only so that maybe we could have gotten full details and been able to delve into the characters a bit more, as I felt like none of them were particularly fleshed out.

What started out as interesting became a rushed bit of craziness that didn’t always make sense. I’m very sad I disliked it.
