A review by unluckycat13
The Hands of the Emperor by Victoria Goddard

Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.

The book begins with a dedication to the people who work within the system to change it. That system? Apparently a god emperor monarchy where you can be executed for speaking out of turn to the emperor of course. A noble place. But it is a noble place because even though it has rules like that it was written by a Christian so God is generally good and just. 

All in all not much is going on in this book besides weird wish fulfillment and questionable views by the author reflected in unexamined story points and character relationships.
