A review by knottytoast
The Scarlet Alchemist by Kylie Lee Baker

5.0

The Scarlet Alchemist finds Zilan raising the dead and taking her imperial exams in hopes of becoming a royal alchemist in the capital. However, with alchemy, one cannot create good without creating evil. Will the evil follow Zilan on her quest to make her dreams a reality? If so, will her dreams become her worst nightmare?
I will read anything Kylie Lee Baker writes. Her novels are so immersive and I enjoy how her story telling makes the reader feel as if they are part of the adventure.
I also love that Baker includes a brief history of the inspiration for her story. It is a great way to get a feel for what was happening during the time frame that the book takes place in.
I cannot wait for the next book in The Scarlet Alchemist series.
