review 1: I really enjoyed reading this book! I first decided to read it because the summary reminded me of the Selection series: a girl entering a contest with a group of other girls to win the prince's heart and become queen). However, this story had a twist to it because she did not enter to win, she entered to save her people from genocide but she did not expect to fall in love during the competition either. In this story, she has a big decision to make for herself and for her country. Even though I greatly enjoyed reading this novel, I did not give it 5 stars because I disliked how the author ended the book. There were too many loose ends that were never tied up and the ending was a little dull. The book began very well and was great throughout too; however, the ending did not ... morelive up to my expectations. But this is a great book that anyone who enjoys a Cinderella story with a twist should read!
review 2: I wasn't expecting this book to be related or based upon scripture, yet it was. Right from the beginning, Esther is quoted, yet this was not a religious book at all. Loosely based on the story of Esther, this story has a life all of its own. Another thing that took me by surprise was the point of view--first person. I wasn't expecting it and it really drew me into the story and made it more personable.I'm a big fan of royalty stories. I've always been fascinated with princesses and princes. I thought it was interesting how Emi ended up at the palace. She is a healer, or being trained as one, by her adopted father Cen. There is an illness tormenting her people and she is determined to find a way to get a cure and stop it. She joins a group of girls going to the palace and is surprised to find herself as a candidate to be the future queen. I really enjoyed the story.I loved the friendships made and the descriptions of the palace life. I loved the brave, strong character that Emi was. I don't know if I could do some of the things she did, including searching for a cure and ending up in the midst of enemies. She had so much courage!Content: Clean!*I received a copy in exchange for an honest review* less
