A review by atrailofpages
The Empire of Dreams by Rae Carson

4.0

When I started this book, I was unsure what to expect, and it started with a chapter from Red’s past and I thought I would end up disliking this book a lot! Turns out I’m wrong!

I adored Red! That girl was fierce, strong, and wouldn’t let anyone or anything cause her to back down. It was interesting to read a story about a girl who suffers from PTSD, or “soldier’s sickness” as it’s called in the book. Reading the chapters about her past really made you understand why Red suffered from PTSD. She went through A LOT! I’m amazed she turned out so well honestly
