Group Buddy Read (Series in Progress) - The Bone Shard Emperor (The Drowning Empire #2) by Andrea Stewart

[Dee Dee, Head Nuisance in Charge]

Andrea Stewart returns with The Bone Shard Emperor, the second installment of this unmissable, action-packed, magic-laced fantasy epic.

The Emperor is Dead. Long live the Emperor.

Lin Sukai finally sits on the throne she won at so much cost, but her struggles are only just beginning. Her people don’t trust her. Her political alliances are weak. And in the north-east of the Empire, a rebel army of constructs is gathering, its leader determined to take the throne by force.

Yet an even greater threat is on the horizon, for the Alanga – the powerful magicians of legend – have returned to the Empire. They claim they come in peace, and Lin will need their help in order to defeat the rebels and restore peace.

But can she trust them?

Up to ch 5, and just like the first book I'm taking a while to get into it.

The way I never finished updating about this...and all i truly remember feeling is *underwhelmed* for most of it, just like the first one.
