3.0

I'm not sure how to review this.

Everyone that has read the series, knows the problems these books have. Here's the thing: a week before the book was released, there was a post by the author that they knew it was far from perfect, but Amazon wasn't willing to push the book back.
The first 40% or so, was relatively error-freee, with the occasional typo and awkward phrasing. After that, it got progressively worse (lot's of homonyms again), the wrong names for characters, and sometimes a sentence I really could not decipher).

The plot had some issues as well, mainly some key events being rushed and not having the impact they could have had.

The author acknowledges this in an afterword, expressing the wish they could go back and rewrite it.

So, I'm giving 4 stars because I like Lymee and her shenanigans as reluctant Empress, and 2 stars for the technical side.
