Book 1 of the Flesh and False Gods series.
This book is inspired by Shakespeare’s Anthony and Cleopatra.
Princess Calla Tuoleimi has been in hiding for five years, she had to run after she killed her parents to free the people of Talin from their tyrannical rule. Her uncle, the current king Kasa, is not much better than her parents, but he’s a recluse so she hasn’t been able to finish the job. However, he always greets the victor of the games so she enters the games in the hopes she wins. And if she wins, she will finally get the chance to kill him…
I enjoyed this read, the writing is a bit ropey here and there, but I liked the premise.
Read for the ShelfReflection Reading Challenge 2024.
