Queen of Deception by May FreighterMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book reminded me of the many Korean reincarnation manhwas I've read, about a girl who's reincarnated into a princess and starts to change everything, and I loved every single bit of it.
Emilia was dead, and then one day she woke up in a fantasy novel like the one in her favorite fantasy novel, The Cruel Empire, and the person she inhabits is the princess who is fated to die. But Emilia changes all of that when she survives the coup and becomes regent of Dante. She then starts to go to work on fixing so many things that needed to be fixed in the country, and also works with the prince, Prince Thessian, and to one day give him the Throne of Dante, and she can live on her own in the countryside with her faithful maid and lady in waiting, Ambrose.
But things don't go her way the moment she learns that things aren't going the way they should in Dante.
One, there were political enemies she wanted to eliminate, one by one. The way she did this was so well done and very cunningly, I must say. Two, she tried very hard not to fall in love with Prince Thessian, and she succeeded, even though she couldn't help but look at him from time to time, which is not that much. Thirdly, she saves a group of children from people who don't want her to take the throne, and she willingly walks towards them before they are killed.
Emilia became one of my favorite characters of all time now, and I want to read more of this series. Even though Prince Thessian wasn't my favorite, the ending concerned me a bit, and I wanted to know if he was going to survive or not. The way he ran after the Grey Wolf with one of the lord's children, and I got very concerned about him. All in all, I really liked this book and I will definitely read more in this series, to see how it continues.
